Song of Solomon 8:8-10
New American Standard Bible
The Chorus
8 “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.”
The Bride
10 “I was a wall, and (C)my breasts were like towers;
Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace.

8 We have a little sister,
and she has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister,
on the day when she is spoken for?(A)
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.
10 I was a wall,
and my breasts were like towers;
then I was in his eyes
as one who brings[a] peace.
