Song of Solomon 1:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ Take me with you. Let’s run away.
The king has brought me into his private rooms.

We will celebrate and rejoice with you.
We will praise your expressions of love more than wine.
How right it is that the young women love you!

⁵ Young women of Jerusalem, I am dark and lovely
like Kedar’s tents,
like Solomon’s curtains.
⁶ Stop staring at me because I am so dark.
The sun has tanned me.
My brothers were angry with me.
They made me the caretaker of the vineyards.
I have not even taken care of my own vineyard.
