Song of Solomon 1:5-6
English Standard Version
She
5 I am very dark, but (A)lovely,
O (B)daughters of Jerusalem,
like (C)the tents of (D)Kedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
because the sun has looked upon me.
My (E)mother's sons were angry with me;
they made me (F)keeper of (G)the vineyards,
but (H)my own vineyard I have not kept!
Song of Solomon 1:5-6
International Standard Version
The Loved One
5 The daughters[a] of Jerusalem, I’m dark and lovely
like the tents of Kedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Don’t stare at me because I’m dark;
the sun has tanned me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me.
They made me the caretaker of the vineyards,
but I didn’t take care of my own vineyard.
