Song of Songs 4:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 (A)Like a tower of David, your neck,
built in courses,
A thousand shields hanging upon it,
all the armor of warriors.[a]
5 (B)Your breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle
feeding among the lilies.
6 (C)Until the day grows cool
and the shadows flee,
I shall go to the mountain of myrrh,
to the hill of frankincense.[b]
