Song of Songs 1:5-6

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