Song of Songs 1:7-8
New International Version
7 Tell me, you whom I love,
where you graze your flock
and where you rest your sheep(A) at midday.
Why should I be like a veiled(B) woman
beside the flocks of your friends?
Friends
8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women,(C)
follow the tracks of the sheep
and graze your young goats
by the tents of the shepherds.
Song of Solomon 1:7-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 Tell me, you, the one I love:(A)
Where do you pasture your sheep?(B)
Where do you let them rest at noon?(C)
Why should I be like one who veils herself[a][b]
beside the flocks of your companions?(D)
8 M[c] If you do not know,
most beautiful of women,(E)
follow[d] the tracks of the flock,
and pasture your young goats
near the shepherds’ tents.
