Song of Solomon 4:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep in good order, which go up from the washing: which every one brings out twins, and none is barren among them.
3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy talk is comely: thy temples are within thy locks as a piece of a pomegranate.
4 Thy neck is as the tower of David built for defense: a thousand shields hang therein, and all the targets of the strong men.

Song of Songs 4:2-4
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.
