    neither can floods drown it.

    all the wealth of his (A)house,
    he[a] would be utterly despised.

Others

    and she (B)has no breasts.

    on the day when she is spoken for?
If she is a wall,
    we will build on her a battlement of silver,
but if she is a door,
    we will enclose her with (C)boards of cedar.
