Song of Songs 8:8-10
Modern English Version
Brothers of the Woman
8 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?
9 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.
Song of Solomon 8:8-10
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.
