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? 9 If 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

8 We 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? 9 If 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. 10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
8 Our sister is young; she has no breasts. What will we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for? 9 If she is a wall, we will build a silver barricade on her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with cedar planks.
10
I am a wall and my breasts like towers. So to him I have become like one who finds peace.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
8 We have a little sister too young to have breasts. What will we do for our sister if someone asks to marry her? 9 If she is a virgin, like a wall, we will protect her with a silver tower. But if she is promiscuous, like a swinging door, we will block her door with a cedar bar.
10
I was a virgin, like a wall; now my breasts are like towers. When my lover looks at me, he is delighted with what he sees.
English Standard Version
