Song of Solomon 8:8-10
World English Bible

Brothers

8 We have a little sister.
    She has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
    in the day when she is to be spoken for?

9 If she is a wall,
    we will build on her a turret of silver.
If she is a door,
    we will enclose her with boards of cedar.

Beloved

10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers,
    then I was in his eyes like one who found peace.
