Song of Solomon 1:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶ Do not stare at me because I am ^[a]dark,
For the sun has tanned me.
My ^(A)mother’s sons were angry with me;
They made me ^(B)caretaker of the vineyards,
But I have not taken care of my own vineyard.
⁷ Tell me, you ^(C)whom my soul loves,
Where do you ^(D)pasture your flock,
Where do you have it ^(E)lie down at noon?
For why should I be like one who ^[b]veils herself
Beside the flocks of your ^(F)companions?”

⁸ “If you yourself do not know,
^(G)Most beautiful among women,
Go out on the trail of the flock,
And pasture your young goats
By the tents of the shepherds.
