Song of Solomon 4:3-5

New Century Version

³ Your lips are like red silk thread,
    and your mouth is lovely.
Your cheeks behind your veil
    are like slices of a pomegranate.
⁴ Your neck is like David’s tower,
    built with rows of stones.
A thousand shields hang on its walls;
    each shield belongs to a strong soldier.
⁵ Your breasts are like two fawns,
    like twins of a gazelle,
    feeding among the lilies.
