⁵ Daughters of Jerusalem,^(A)
I am dark like the tents of Kedar,^(B)
yet lovely^(C) like the curtains of Solomon.
⁶ Do not stare at me because I am dark,
for the sun has gazed on me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me;^(D)
they made me take care of the vineyards.^(E)
I have not taken care of my own vineyard.
