Song of Songs 8:8-12 NIV

Song of Songs 8:8-12

Friends

We have a little sister,

and her breasts are not yet grown.

What shall we do for our sister

on the day she is spoken for?

If she is a wall,

we will build towers of silver on her.

If she is a door,

we will enclose her with panels of cedar.

She

I am a wall,

and my breasts are like towers.

Thus I have become in his eyes

like one bringing contentment.

Solomon had a vineyard in Baal Hamon;

he let out his vineyard to tenants.

Each was to bring for its fruit

a thousand shekels8:11 That is, about 25 pounds or about 12 kilograms; also in verse 12 of silver.

But my own vineyard is mine to give;

the thousand shekels are for you, Solomon,

and two hundred8:12 That is, about 5 pounds or about 2.3 kilograms are for those who tend its fruit.
