Song of Songs 1:6-14

6LookH7200 notH3808 uponH7200 meH7760, because I am swarthyH7840, because the sunH8121 hath scorchedH2787 meH7760. My mother’sH517 sonsH1121 were incensed against meH7760, they madeH7760 meH7760 keeper of the vineyardsH3754; but mine own vineyardH3754 have I notH3808 kept.

7TellH5046 meH5315, O thou whom my soulH5315 loveth, whereH4100 thou feedest thy flockH5739, whereH4100 thou makest it to restH7257 at noonH6672: for whyH4100 should I be as one that is veiled besideH5921 the flocksH5739 of thy companionsH2270?

8IfH518 thou knowH3045 notH3808, O thou fairest among womenH802, goH3318 thy wayH5921 forthH3318 by the footstepsH6119 of the flockH6629, and feedH7462 thy kids besideH5921 the shepherds’ tentsH4908.

9I have comparedH1819 thee, O my love, to a steed in Pharaoh’sH6547 chariotsH7393.

10Thy cheeksH3895 are comely with plaits of hair, thy neckH6677 with stringsH2737 of jewels

11WeH6213 will makeH6213 thee plaits of goldH2091 with studs of silverH3701.

12WhileH5704 the kingH4428 sat at his tableH4524, my spikenard sentH5414 forthH5414 itsH5414 fragrance.

13My belovedH1730 is unto me as a bundle of myrrhH4753, that lieth betwixt my breastsH7699.

14My belovedH1730 is unto me as a clusterH811 of henna-flowers in the vineyardsH3754 of En-gedi.
