Song of Solomon 8:8-10
Revised Standard Version
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?
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.

And she hath no breasts:
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she shall be spoken for?

Then was I in his eyes as one that found peace.
