Song of Songs 8:8-10
Christian Standard Bible

Brothers

8 Our sister is young;
she has no breasts.(A)
What will we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
we will build a silver barricade on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with cedar planks.(B)

Woman

10 I am[a] a wall
and my breasts like towers.
So to him I have become
like one who finds[b] peace.[c]

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.
