Song of Solomon 1:6-8
Names of God Bible
6 Stop staring at me because I am so dark.
The sun has tanned me.
My brothers were angry with me.
They made me the caretaker of the vineyards.
I have not even taken care of my own vineyard.
7 Please tell me, you whom I love, where do you graze your flock?
Where does your flock lie down at noon?
Tell me, or I will be considered a prostitute
wandering among the flocks of your companions.
[The chorus of young women]
8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women,
follow the tracks of the flocks,
and graze your young goats near 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.

6 Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
because the sun has looked upon me.
My (A)mother's sons were angry with me;
they made me (B)keeper of (C)the vineyards,
but (D)my own vineyard I have not kept!
7 Tell me, you (E)whom my soul loves,
where you (F)pasture your flock,
where you make it (G)lie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who veils herself
beside the flocks of your (H)companions?
Solomon and His Bride Delight in Each Other
He
8 If you do not know,
O (I)most beautiful among women,
follow in the tracks of the flock,
and pasture your young goats
beside the shepherds' tents.
