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.

The Shulamite’s Brothers

(A)We have a little sister,
And she has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she is spoken for?
If she is a wall,
We will build upon her
A battlement of silver;
And if she is a door,
We will enclose her
With boards of cedar.

The Shulamite

10 I am a wall,
And my breasts like towers;
Then I became in his eyes
As one who found peace.
