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.
