Song of Solomon 8:6-7
New King James Version
The Shulamite to Her Beloved
6 (A)Set me as a seal upon your heart,
As a seal upon your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
(B)Jealousy as [a]cruel as [b]the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire,
[c]A most vehement flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor can the floods drown it.
(C)If a man would give for love
All the wealth of his house,
It would be utterly despised.
