Song of Songs 4:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Your lips are like a crimson thread,
and your mouth is lovely.
Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
behind your veil.(A)
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,
built in courses;
on it hang a thousand bucklers,
all of them shields of warriors.(B)
5 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle,
that feed among the lilies.(C)
