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?

6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love(A) is as strong as death,
its jealousy[a](B) unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.[b]
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
it[c] would be utterly scorned.(C)

and her breasts are not yet grown.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
