Song of Solomon 1:5-7
Young's Literal Translation
Song of Solomon 1:5-7
Young's Literal Translation
5 Dark [am] I, and comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As tents of Kedar, as curtains of Solomon.
6 Fear me not, because I [am] very dark, Because the sun hath scorched me, The sons of my mother were angry with me, They made me keeper of the vineyards, My vineyard -- my own -- I have not kept.
7 Declare to me, thou whom my soul hath loved, Where thou delightest, Where thou liest down at noon, For why am I as one veiled, By the ranks of thy companions?

New International Version
Song of Songs 1:5-7
New International Version
5 Dark am I, yet lovely,(A)
daughters of Jerusalem,(B)
dark like the tents of Kedar,(C)
like the tent curtains of Solomon.[a]
6 Do not stare at me because I am dark,
because I am darkened by the sun.
My mother’s sons were angry with me
and made me take care of the vineyards;(D)
my own vineyard I had to neglect.
7 Tell me, you whom I love,
where you graze your flock
and where you rest your sheep(E) at midday.
Why should I be like a veiled(F) woman
beside the flocks of your friends?
