Song of Solomon 1:5 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 5 I am weathered but still elegant, oh, dear sisters in Jerusalem, Weather-darkened like Kedar desert tents, time-softened like Solomon's Temple hangings. | 5 Dark am I, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon. |
