Song of Songs 8:8-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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.

So in his eyes I have become
like one who finds peace.[c]
