6 Stop staring at me because I am so dark.The sun has tanned me.My brothers were angry with me.They made me the caretaker of the vineyards.I have not even taken care of my own vineyard.
7 Please tell me, you whom I love, where do you graze your flock?Where does your flock lie down at noon?⌊Tell me,⌋ or I will be considered a prostitute⌊wandering⌋ among the flocks of your companions.
8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women,follow the tracks of the flocks,and graze your young goats near the shepherds’ tents.
9 My true love, I compare you to a mare among Pharaoh’s stallions.
10 Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,your neck with strings of pearls.
11 We will make gold ornaments with silver beads for you.
12 While the king is at his table,my perfume fills the air with its fragrance.
