New American Standard Bible 1995

Song of Songs 1:5-6

5“1I am black but 2lovely, O 3daughters of Jerusalem, Like the 4tents of 5Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon.6Do not stare at me because I am 6swarthy, For the sun has burned me. My 7mother’s sons were angry with me; They made me 8caretaker of the vineyards, But I have not taken care of my own vineyard.
