Song of Songs 4:3-5
New International Reader's Version
3 Your lips are like a bright red ribbon.
Your mouth is so lovely.
Your cheeks behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.
4 Your neck is strong and beautiful like the tower of David.
That tower is built with rows of stones.
A thousand shields are hanging on it.
All of them belong to mighty soldiers.
5 Your breasts are lovely.
They are like two young antelopes
that eat among the lilies.

built with courses of stone[a];

like twin fawns of a gazelle(G)
that browse among the lilies.(H)
