Song of Songs 1:5-7

Christian Standard Bible

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.

⁷ Tell me, you whom I love:^(F)
Where do you pasture your sheep?^(G)
Where do you let them rest at noon?^(H)
Why should I be like one who veils herself^[a]
beside the flocks of your companions?^(I)
