8 Our sister is young;
she has no breasts.(A)
What will we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?

If she is a door,
we will enclose her with cedar planks.(B)

Song of Solomon 8:8-10
Common English Bible
[The Woman’s Brothers]
8 Our sister is small;
she has no breasts.
What will we do for our sister
on the day that she is spoken for?
9 If she is a city wall,
then we will build a turret of silver on her.[a]
And if she is a door,
then we will barricade her[b] with a panel of cedar.
[Woman]
10 I’m a city wall,
and my breasts are the towers.
So now I’m in his eyes
as one who brings peace.
