Song of Songs 8:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ Keep me near to you, like a seal over your heart.^[a]
    Keep me like a seal on your arm.
Keep me there always,
    because love is as powerful as death.
    It keeps hold of people as strongly as the grave does.
Love burns like a hot fire.
    It burns with bright flames.
⁷ Even a flood of water cannot stop the flames.
    Rivers of water cannot carry it away.
A man might try to give all his riches
    to buy a woman's love.
But she would refuse to accept what he offers to her.
