Song of Songs 4:2-4
Christian Standard Bible
2 Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep
coming up from washing,
each one bearing twins,
and none has lost its young.[a](A)
3 Your lips are like a scarlet cord,(B)
and your mouth[b] is lovely.
Behind your veil,
your brow[c] is like a slice of pomegranate.(C)
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,(D)
constructed in layers.
A thousand shields are hung on it—
all of them shields of warriors.
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.
