22:001:006 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
22:001:007 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
22:001:008 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
22:001:009 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
22:001:010 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.
22:001:011 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
22:001:012 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
22:001:013 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
22:001:014 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
22:001:015 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.
