Song of Solomon 1:8
Showing verse 8 with surrounding context.
5
[She] I am dark tan but beautiful, you daughters of Yerushalayim, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Shlomo.
6
Don't stare at me because I'm dark; it's the sun that tanned me. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me look after the vineyards. But I haven't cared for my own vineyard.
7
Tell me, my love, where you pasture your flock, where you have them rest at noon; for why should I veil myself [like a whore] beside the flocks of your friends?
8
[Chorus] If you do not know, you most beautiful of women, then follow the footprints of the flock and let your kids graze by the shepherds' tents.
9
[He] My love, I compare you with my mare, pulling one of Pharaoh's chariots
10
your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, your neck with its strings of beads;
11
we will make you ornaments of gold, studded with silver.
