|---|---|---|
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?
|
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.
|
I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
