Song of Songs 1:5-17
5IH589 am darkH7838, yet lovelyH5000, O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, like the tentsH168 of KedarH6938, like the curtainsH3407 of SolomonH8010.6Do notH408 stareH7200 because IH589 am darkH7840, for the sunH8121 has gazed upon meH7805. My mother’sH517 sonsH1121 were angryH2734 with me; they made meH7760 a keeperH5201 of the vineyardsH3754, but my own vineyardH3754 I have neglectedH3808H5201.
7Tell meH5046, O one IH5315 loveH157,whereH349 do you pasture your sheepH7462?WhereH349 do you rest themH7257 at middayH6672?WhyH4100 should I beH1961 like a veiled womanH5844besideH5921 the flocksH5739 of your companionsH2270?
8IfH518 you do notH3808 knowH3045, O fairestH3303 of womenH802,followH3318 the tracksH6119 of the flockH6629,and grazeH7462 your young goatsH1429nearH5921 the tentsH4908 of the shepherdsH7462.
9I compare youH1819, my darlingH7474,to a mareH5484 among Pharaoh’sH6547 chariotsH7393.10Your cheeksH3895 are beautifulH4998 with ornamentsH8447,your neckH6677 with strings of jewelsH2737.
12WhileH5704 the kingH4428 was at his tableH4524,my perfumeH5373 spreadH5414 its fragranceH7381.13My belovedH1730 is to me a sachetH6872 of myrrhH4753restingH3885 betweenH996 my breastsH7699.14My belovedH1730 is to me a clusterH811 of henna blossomsH3724in the vineyardsH3754 of En-gediH5872.
15HowH2005 beautifulH3303 you are, my darlingH7474!Oh, how veryH2005 beautifulH3303!Your eyesH5869 are like dovesH3123.
