Song of Solomon 4:3-5
Complete Jewish Bible
3 Your lips are like a scarlet thread,
and your mouth is lovely.
Your cheeks are like a pomegranate
split open behind your veil.
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,
built magnificently,
on which hang a thousand bucklers,
each one a brave warrior’s shield.
5 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle grazing among lilies.
Song of Songs 4:3-5

your mouth(A) is lovely.(B)
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.(C)
4 Your neck is like the tower(D) of David,
built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,(E)
all of them shields of warriors.

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