Song of Songs 1:4-7

4DrawH4900 me afterH310 you and let us runH7323 together! The 1kingH4428 has broughtH935 me into his chambersH2315.” “2We will rejoiceH1523 in you and be gladH8055; We will 3extolH2142 your 4loveH1730 moreH4480 thanH4480 wineH3196. RightlyH4339 do they loveH157 you.”

5“5I am blackH7838 but 6lovelyH5000, O 7daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, Like the 8tentsH168 of 9KedarH6938, Like the curtainsH3407 of SolomonH8010.6Do not stareH7200 at me because I am 10swarthyH7840, For the sunH8121 has burnedH7805 me. My 11mother’sH517 sonsH1121 were angryH2734 with me; They madeH7760 me 12caretakerH5201 of the vineyardsH3754, But I have not takenH5201 careH5201 of my own vineyardH3754.7TellH5046 me, O you 13whomH7945 my soulH5315 lovesH157, WhereH351 do you 14pastureH7462 your flock, WhereH351 do you make it 15lieH7257 downH7257 at noonH6672? For whyH4100 should I be like one who 16veilsH5844 herself BesideH5921 the flocksH5739 of your 17companionsH2270?”
