In context

8Our sister is little, and has no breasts; What shall we do for our sister, In the day wherein she shall be spoken for?

9If she is a wall, let us build upon her silver bulwarks; And if she is a door, let us carve for her cedar panels.

— Song of Solomon 8:10 —

11Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon; He let his vineyard to keepers; Every one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.

12My vineyard, even mine, is before me; Solomon shall have a thousand, And they that keep its fruit two hundred.
