If she is a city wall,
        then we will build a turret of silver on her.[a]
And if she is a door,
        then we will barricade her[b] with a panel of cedar.

[Woman]

10 I’m a city wall,
        and my breasts are the towers.
So now I’m in his eyes
        as one who brings peace.

[Man]

11 Solomon had a vineyard
        in Baal-hamon.
He gave charge of the vineyard to keepers;
        one would bring in exchange for its fruit
            a thousand pieces of silver.
