Song of Solomon 8:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸We have a little sister,
and her breasts are not yet grown.
What should we do for our sister
when a man comes asking to marry her?

⁹If she were a wall,
we would put silver trim^[a] around her.
If she were a door,
we would put a cedar board around her.

¹⁰I am a wall,
and my breasts are my towers.
And he is satisfied with me!^[b]
