Song of Solomon 4:4-6
Amplified Bible
4
“Your neck is like the tower of David,
Built with rows of [glistening] stones,
Whereon hang a thousand shields,
All of them shields of warriors.
5
“Your two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle
Which feed among the lilies.
6
“Until the day breaks
And the shadows flee away,
[In my thoughts] I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh
And to the hill of frankincense.
