Song of Solomon 4:2-4
American Standard Version
2 Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes that are newly shorn,
Which are come up from the washing,
[a]Whereof every one hath twins,
And none is bereaved among them.
3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet,
And thy [b]mouth is comely.
Thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate
Behind thy [c]veil.
4 Thy neck is like the tower of David
Builded [d]for an armory,
Whereon there hang a thousand bucklers,
All the shields of the mighty men.

New International Version
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone.(A)
3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
your mouth(B) is lovely.(C)
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.(D)
4 Your neck is like the tower(E) of David,
built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,(F)
all of them shields of warriors.
