For love is as strong as death,

Its flashes are flashes of fire,

7 Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor will rivers overflow it;
(C)If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love,
It would be utterly despised.”

The Nature of Genuine Romantic Love
6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death;
passion is fierce as Sheol;
its flashes are flashes of fire;

rivers cannot sweep it away.[a]
If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love,[b]
he would be utterly scorned.[c]
