New International Version (NIV)

5Turn your eyes from me;

they overwhelm me.

Your hair is like a flock of goats

descending from Gilead.

5“Turn your eyes away from me,

For they have confused me;

Your hair is like a flock of goats

That have descended from Gilead.

5Turn your eyes away from me,

For they have confused me;

Your hair is like a flock of goats

That have descended from Gilead.

5“Turn your [flashing] eyes away from me,

For they have confused and overcome me;

Your hair is like [the shimmering black fleece of] a flock of [Arabian] goats

That have descended from Mount Gilead.

5Turn your eyes away from me,

for they have overcome me.

Your hair is like a flock of goats

streaming down from Gilead.

5Turn your eyes away from me.

They overpower me.

Your hair flows like a flock of black goats

coming down from the hills of Gilead.
