Song of Songs 4:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes
that have come up from the washing.
Each one of them has a twin;
not a single one is unpaired with the other.
3 Your lips are like a scarlet thread,
and your mouth is lovely.
Your cheeks behind your veil
are like halves of a pomegranate.
4 Your neck is like the tower of David
built layer upon layer;
a thousand bucklers hang upon it,
all of them shields of valiant warriors.

Your temples behind your veil

built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,(F)
all of them shields of warriors.
