Tents

Daughters of Jerusalem,
I am dark like the tents of Kedar,
yet lovely like the curtains of Solomon.

It will never be inhabited
or lived in from generation to generation;
a nomad will not pitch his tent there,
and shepherds will not let their flocks rest there.

this is the Lord’s declaration—
though it is dense,
for they are more numerous than locusts;
they cannot be counted.
