10 Her: I was a wall,
        and now my breasts are like towers;
    At that time I found completeness and satisfaction in his eyes.

11     Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon;
        he let farmers tend it and charged each a ransom for its produce—1,000 pieces of silver.

        Solomon, you may have your 1,000;
    Those who tend the fruit, your 200.

    and two hundred[b] are for those who tend its fruit.
