Song of Solomon 1:5-6
Authorized (King James) Version
5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem,
as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
6 Look not upon me, because I am black,
because the sun hath looked upon me:
my mother’s children were angry with me;
they made me the keeper of the vineyards;
but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Song of Solomon 1:5-6
New King James Version
5 I am dark, but lovely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
Like the tents of Kedar,
Like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not look upon me, because I am dark,
Because the sun has [a]tanned me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me;
They made me the keeper of the vineyards,
But my own (A)vineyard I have not kept.
