Song of Solomon 8:6-7
New Living Translation
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
its jealousy[a] as enduring as the grave.[b]
Love flashes like fire,
the brightest kind of flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
nor can rivers drown it.
If a man tried to buy love
with all his wealth,
his offer would be utterly scorned.
Song of Songs 8:6-7
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)
jealousy is as unrelenting as Sheol.
Love’s flames are fiery flames(C)—
an almighty flame![a]
7 A huge torrent 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.
