Song of Solomon 8:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal on your arm.(A)
For love is as strong as death;(B)
ardent love is as unrelenting as Sheol.
Love’s flames are fiery flames(C)—
the fiercest of all.[a]
7 Mighty waters cannot extinguish love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If a man were to give all his wealth[b] for love,(D)
it would be utterly scorned.
8 B Our sister is young;
she has no breasts.(E)
What will we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
