Song of Solomon 4:2-4

New Century Version

² Your teeth are white like newly sheared sheep
    just coming from their bath.
Each one has a twin,
    and none of them is missing.
³ Your lips are like red silk thread,
    and your mouth is lovely.
Your cheeks behind your veil
    are like slices of a pomegranate.
⁴ Your neck is like David’s tower,
    built with rows of stones.
A thousand shields hang on its walls;
    each shield belongs to a strong soldier.
