Song of Solomon 4:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 Your lips are like a scarlet cord,(A)
and your mouth[a] is lovely.
Behind your veil,
your brow[b] is like a slice of pomegranate.(B)
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,(C)
constructed in layers.
A thousand bucklers are hung on it—
all of them shields of warriors.[c]
5 Your breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle,(D) that feed among the lilies.
