Song of Solomon 4:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,(A)
constructed in layers.
A thousand bucklers are hung on it—
all of them shields of warriors.[a]
5 Your breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle,(B) that feed among the lilies.
6 Before the day breaks[b]
and the shadows flee,(C)
I will make my way to the mountain of myrrh
and the hill of frankincense.(D)

4 Your neck is like the tower(A) of David,
built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,(B)
all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your breasts(C) are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle(D)
that browse among the lilies.(E)
6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,(F)
I will go to the mountain of myrrh(G)
and to the hill of incense.
