Song of Songs 4:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 Your (A)teeth are like a flock of newly shorn ewes
Which have come up from their washing,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has [a]lost her young.
3 Your lips are like a (B)scarlet thread,
And your (C)mouth is lovely.
Your (D)temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.
4 Your (E)neck is like the tower of David,
Built [b]with rows of stones
On which are (F)hung one thousand shields,
All the small (G)shields of the mighty 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.
