Tell me, my love, where are you leading your flock today?
    Where will you rest your sheep at noon?
For why should I wander like a prostitute[a]
    among your friends and their flocks?

    follow the trail of my flock,
    and graze your young goats by the shepherds’ tents.

Footnotes

  1. 1:7 Hebrew like a veiled woman.

Tell me, you whom I love with all my heart—
        where do you pasture your flock,
        where do you rest them at noon?—
            so I don’t wander around with the flocks of your companions.

[Man]

If you don’t know your way,
    most beautiful of women,
        then follow the tracks of the herds
            and graze your little goats
            by the tents of the shepherds.
