Put me like a seal over your heart,
Like a (A)seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
[a](B)Jealousy is as severe as Sheol;
Its flames are flames of fire,
[b]The flame of the Lord.
Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor will rivers flood over it;
(C)If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love,
It would be utterly despised.”
