Song of Solomon 1:4-6
International Standard Version
Song of Solomon 1:4-6
International Standard Version
4 Take me with[a] you! Let’s run away!
Let the king bring me into his private chambers.
The Young Women
The daughters[b] of Jerusalem[c] will rejoice and be happy for you.
We will value your love more than wine.
They love you appropriately.
The Loved One
5 The daughters[d] of Jerusalem, I’m dark and lovely
like the tents of Kedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Don’t stare at me because I’m dark;
the sun has tanned me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me.
They made me the caretaker of the vineyards,
but I didn’t take care of my own vineyard.
