Song of Solomon 1:8 in Context — Song of Solomon 1

6 No miréis en que soy morena, porque el sol me miró. Los hijos de mi madre se airaron contra mí, hiciéronme guarda de viñas; [y] mi viña, que era mía, no guardé.

7 Hazme saber, ó tú á quien ama mi alma, dónde repastas, dónde haces tener majada al medio día: porque, ¿por qué había yo de estar como vagueando tras los rebaños de tus compañeros?

8 Si tú no lo sabes, oh hermosa entre las mujeres, sal, yéndote por las huellas del rebaño, y apacienta tus cabritas junto á las cabañas de los pastores.

9 A yegua de los carros de Faraón te he comparado, amiga mía.

10 Hermosas son tus mejillas entre los pendientes, tu cuello entre los collares.
