Song of Solomon 4:2-4
International Children’s Bible
2 Your teeth are white like newly-sheared sheep
just coming from their bath.
Each one has a twin.
None of them is alone.
3 Your lips are like red silk thread.
Your mouth is lovely.
Your cheeks behind your veil
are like slices of a pomegranate.
4 Your neck looks like David’s tower.
The tower was built with rows of stones.
A thousand shields hang on its walls.
Each shield belongs to a strong soldier.

coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone.(A)

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.
