Song of Solomon 4:2-4

Good News Translation

² Your teeth are as white as sheep
    that have just been shorn and washed.
Not one of them is missing;
    they are all perfectly matched.
³ Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
    how lovely they are when you speak.
Your cheeks glow behind your veil.
⁴ Your neck is like the tower of David,
    round and smooth,^[a]
    with a necklace like a thousand shields hung around it.
