Brothers

Our sister is young;
she has no breasts.(A)
What will we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
If she is a wall,
we will build a silver barricade on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with cedar planks.(B)

and my breasts like towers.
So to him I have become
like one who finds[b] peace.[c]
