Brothers

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?

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.

What shall we do for our sister,
    on the day when she is spoken for?(A)
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.
