Song of Songs 1:8 Douay-Rheims

If thou know not thyself, O fairest among women, go forth, and follow after the steps of the flocks, and feed thy kids beside the tents of the shepherds.

Francis Patrick Kenrick

1796–1863 Catholic

The terra contains an allusion tathe life of a courtesan. Sho intimates that her inquiries might expose her to be regarded in this light. The church begs Christ to manifest Himself, that she may not be as a wanderer, straying after false guides. £3 The pronoun in the text is considered redundant. " If thou know not" where I am at mid-day.
