Song of Solomon 7:4

Thy neck, is like a tower of ivory,—Thine eyes, are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim, Thy nose, is like the tower of Lebanon, which looketh towards Damascus:

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.

In Context

5Thy head upon thee, is like Carmel, And, the hair of thy head, is like purple,—The king, is held captive by the ringlets!
