The Song of Songs 1:5-8

I [am] black
<07838>_,

but comely
<05000>_,

O ye daughters
<01323>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

as the tents
<0168>

of Kedar
<06938>_,

as the curtains
<03407>

of Solomon
<08010>_.

Look
<07200> (8799)

not upon me, because I [am] black
<07840>_,

because the sun
<08121>

hath looked
<07805> (8804)

upon me: my mother's
<0517>

children
<01121>

were angry
<02787> (8738)

with me; they made
<07760> (8804)

me the keeper
<05201> (8802)

of the vineyards
<03754>_;

[but] mine own vineyard
<03754>

have I not kept
<05201> (8804)_.

Tell
<05046> (8685)

me, O thou whom my soul
<05315>

loveth
<0157> (8804)_,

where thou feedest
<07462> (8799)_,

where
<0349>

thou makest [thy flock] to rest
<07257> (8686)

at noon
<06672>_:

for
<04100>

why should I be as one that turneth aside
<05844> (8802)

by the flocks
<05739>

of thy companions
<02270>_?

{as one...: or, as one that is veiled}

If thou know
<03045> (8799)

not, O thou fairest
<03303>

among women
<0802>_,

go thy way forth
<03318> (8798)

by the footsteps
<06119>

of the flock
<06629>_,

and feed
<07462> (8798)

thy kids
<01429>

beside the shepherds
<07462> (8802)_'

tents
<04908>_.
