8We 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?
9If she be a wall,
We will build upon her a turret of silver:
And if she be a door,
We will inclose her with boards of cedar.
10I am a wall, and my breasts like the towers thereof
Then was I in his eyes as one that found peace.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
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?
If she is a wall,
we will build on her a battlement of silver,
but if she is a door,
we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
I was a wall,
and my breasts were like towers;
then I was in his eyes
as one who finds peace.

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.
I am a wall,
and my breasts are like towers.
Thus I have become in his eyes
like one bringing contentment.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Our sister is young;
she has no breasts.
What will we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
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.
I am a wall
and my breasts like towers.
So to him I have become
like one who finds peace.

NLTNew Living Translation
We have a little sister
too young to have breasts.
What will we do for our sister
if someone asks to marry her?
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.
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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
We have a little sister,
and she does not yet have any breasts.
What should we do for our sister
on the day when she is betrothed?
If she is a wall,
we will adorn her with a turret of silver;
but if she is a door,
we will barricade her with boards of cedar.
I was a wall, and my breasts were like the towers,
so my betrothed viewed me with great delight.

Then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
