Song of Solomon 1:6-8
American Standard Version
Song of Solomon 1:6-8
American Standard Version
6 Look not upon me, because I am swarthy,
Because the sun hath [a]scorched me.
My mother’s sons were incensed against me;
They made me keeper of the vineyards;
But mine own vineyard have I not kept.
7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth,
Where thou feedest thy flock,
Where thou makest it to rest at noon:
For why should I be as one that is veiled
Beside the flocks of thy companions?
8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women,
Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock,
And feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.

Song of Songs 1:6-8
New International Version
6 Do not stare at me because I am dark,
because I am darkened by the sun.
My mother’s sons were angry with me
and made me take care of the vineyards;(A)
my own vineyard I had to neglect.
7 Tell me, you whom I love,
where you graze your flock
and where you rest your sheep(B) at midday.
Why should I be like a veiled(C) woman
beside the flocks of your friends?
Friends
8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women,(D)
follow the tracks of the sheep
and graze your young goats
by the tents of the shepherds.
