Song of Solomon 8:5-7

Song of Solomon 8:5-7
English Standard Version
5 (A)Who is that coming up from the wilderness,
leaning on her beloved?
Under the apple tree I awakened you.
There your mother was in labor with you;
there she who bore you was in labor.
6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as (B)a seal upon your arm,
for (C)love is strong as death,
(D)jealousy[a] is fierce as the grave.[b]
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
the very (E)flame of the Lord.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If a man offered for love
all the wealth of his (F)house,
he[c] would be utterly despised.
