Song of Solomon 1:7-8
English Standard Version
7 Tell me, you (A)whom my soul loves,
where you (B)pasture your flock,
where you make it (C)lie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who veils herself
beside the flocks of your (D)companions?
Solomon and His Bride Delight in Each Other
He
8 If you do not know,
O (E)most beautiful among women,
follow in the tracks of the flock,
and pasture your young goats
beside the shepherds' tents.
Song of Solomon 1:7-8
International Standard Version
7 Tell me, you whom I love,
where do you graze your flock?
Where do you make your flock lie down[a] at noon?
Why should I be considered a veiled woman[b]
beside the flocks of your companions?
The Lover
8 If you don’t know, most beautiful of women,
go out after the flock and graze your young goats beside the shepherd’s tents.
