Song of Songs 1:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ Do not stare at me because I am dark
    because the sun gazed at me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me.
They made me take care of the vineyards.
I could not take care of my own vineyard.

⁷ You whom my soul loves, tell me
where you pasture your flock,
where you rest your sheep at noon.

⁸ If you do not know, most beautiful of women,
go out and follow the tracks of the flock
and graze your young goats
    by the dwellings of the shepherds.
