Read in context

Song of Solomon 8:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 If she is a wall, we will build a tower of silver to protect her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar.

10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So I have become in his eyes like one who brings peace.

11 Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver.

12 But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.

13 You who dwell in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice. Let me hear it!
