⁶ Do not look at me because I am ^[a]swarthy,
For the sun has burned me.
My ^(A)mother’s sons were angry with me;
They made me ^(B)caretaker of the vineyards,
But I have not taken care of my own vineyard.
⁷ Tell me, O you ^(C)whom my soul loves,
Where do you ^(D)shepherd your flock,
Where do you make it ^(E)lie down at noon?
For why should I be like one who ^[b]veils herself
Beside the flocks of your ^(F)companions?”
