Song of Songs 8:8-10
Legacy Standard Bible
8 “[a]We have a little sister,
And she (A)has no breasts;
What shall we do for our sister
On the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
We will build on her a battlement of silver;
But if she is a door,
We will barricade her with (B)planks of cedar.”
10 “[b]I was a wall, and (C)my breasts were like towers;
Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace.

American Standard Version
8 We have a little sister,
And she hath no breasts:
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she shall be spoken for?
9 If she be a wall,
We will build upon her [a]a turret of silver:
And if she be a door,
We will inclose her with boards of cedar.
10 I [b]am a wall, and my breasts like the towers thereof
Then was I in his eyes as one that found peace.
