Song of Solomon 1:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ Tell me, you whom my soul loves,
    where you pasture your flock,
    where you make it lie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who wanders^[a]
    beside the flocks of your companions?

⁹ I compare you, my love,
    to a mare of Pharaoh’s chariots.
