Song of Solomon 4:3-5
American Standard Version
3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet,
And thy [a]mouth is comely.
Thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate
Behind thy [b]veil.
4 Thy neck is like the tower of David
Builded [c]for an armory,
Whereon there hang a thousand bucklers,
All the shields of the mighty men.
5 Thy two breasts are like two fawns
That are twins of a [d]roe,
Which feed among the lilies.
