Song of Solomon 8:6-7
Lexham English Bible
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;
it is a blazing flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
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]
