Song of Solomon 1:5-6
Lexham English Bible
Maiden’s Self-Description
5 I am black but beautiful,[a] O maidens of Jerusalem,[b]
like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not gaze at me because I am black, [c]
because the sun has stared at me.
The sons of my mother were angry with me;
they made me keeper of the vineyards,
but my own “vineyard”[d] I did not keep.

New Living Translation
5 I am dark but beautiful,
O women of Jerusalem—
dark as the tents of Kedar,
dark as the curtains of Solomon’s tents.
6 Don’t stare at me because I am dark—
the sun has darkened my skin.
My brothers were angry with me;
they forced me to care for their vineyards,
so I couldn’t care for myself—my own vineyard.
