Song of Solomon 8:8-10
GOD’S WORD Translation
The Young Woman with Her Family and Her Beloved
[ THE BROTHERS ]
8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts.
What will we do for our sister on the day she becomes engaged?
9 If she is a wall, we will build a silver barrier around her.
If she is a door, we will barricade her with cedar boards.
[ BRIDE ]
10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers.
So he considers me to be one who has found peace.[a]
