Song of Solomon 8:7-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
7Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers flood over it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, It would be utterly despised.' 8'We have a little sister, And she has no breasts; What shall we do for our sister On the day when she is spoken for? 9If she is a wall, We will build on her a battlement of silver; But if she is a door, We will barricade her with planks of cedar.' 10'I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace.King James Version
8We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
9If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
10I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
7A huge torrent cannot extinguish love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all his wealth for love, it would be utterly scorned. 8Our sister is young; she has no breasts. What will we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for? 9If she is a wall, we will build a silver barricade on her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with cedar planks.New Living Translation
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
7Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised. 8We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is spoken for? 9If she is a wall, we will build on her a battlement of silver, but if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar. 10I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who finds peace.New International Version
