Song of Solomon 1:5

Read in context

Song of Solomon 1:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 The fragrance of your perfume is pleasing; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens adore you.

4 Take me away with you—let us hurry! May the king bring me to his chambers.

5 I am dark, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

6 Do not stare because I am dark, for the sun has gazed upon me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; they made me a keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have neglected.

7 Tell me, O one I love, where do you pasture your sheep? Where do you rest them at midday? Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your companions?
