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?
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.

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

If she be a wall,
We will build upon her [a]a turret of silver:
And if she be a door,
We will inclose her with boards of cedar.

10 I [b]am a wall, and my breasts like the towers thereof
Then was I in his eyes as one that found peace.
