Song of Solomon 1:7-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 Tell me, you, the one I love:(A)
Where do you pasture your sheep?(B)
Where do you let them rest at noon?(C)
Why should I be like one who veils herself[a][b]
beside the flocks of your companions?(D)
8 M[c] If you do not know,
most beautiful of women,(E)
follow[d] the tracks of the flock,
and pasture your young goats
near the shepherds’ tents.
9 I compare you, my darling,(F)
to a[e] mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.[f](G)
10 Your cheeks are beautiful with jewelry,(H)
your neck with its necklace.
11 We will make gold jewelry for you,
accented with silver.
