5. I’m dark but lovely,women of Jerusalem.I’m dark like the tents of Kedar,like the curtains of Solomon.
6. Don’t look at how dark I am,at how dark the sun has made me.My brothers were angry with me.They made me tend the vineyards.So I haven’t tended my own vineyard!
7. Tell me, you whom I love,where do you feed your sheep?Where do you make them rest at noon?Why should I look for you near your friend’s sheep?Am I like a woman who wears a veil?
8. You are the most beautiful of women.Surely you know to follow the sheep.Feed your young goatsnear the shepherds’ tents.
9. My darling, you are like a marethat pulls the king’s chariots.
10. Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments.Your neck is beautiful with jewels.
