Song of Solomon 1:5

I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

KJV

Nolite me considerare quod fusca sim, quia decoloravit me sol. Filii matris meæ pugnaverunt contra me ; posuerunt me custodem in vineis : vineam meam non custodivi.

Vulgate

Μέλαινά εἰμι καὶ καλή, θυγατέρες Ἰσραήλ, ὡς σκηνώματα Κηδάρ, ὡς δέρρις Σαλωμών.

LXX

I am black, but comely, Oh ye daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon.
