← Song of Solomon 1:7	Song of Solomon 1:8 (KJV)	Song of Solomon 1:9 →
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?	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.	I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
