Brothers of the Woman

We have a little sister,
    and she has no breasts.
What will we do for our sister
    on the day when she is spoken for?
If she is a wall,
    we will build upon her a battlement of silver;
but if she is a door,
    we will enclose her with boards of cedar.

The Woman

10 I was a wall,
    and my breasts were like towers;
then I was in his eyes
    as one who finds peace.

If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver:
and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.

10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers:
then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
