Song of Songs 4:2-4
Tree of Life Version
2 Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes
coming up from washing.
Each of them has a twin,
and none among them is missing.
3 Your lips are like a scarlet thread
and your speech is lovely.
Your temple is like a slice of pomegranate
behind your veil.
4 Like the tower of David is your neck,
built for weapons.
A thousand shields are hung on it
—all 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.
