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.
Song of Solomon 8:6-7
Common English Bible
6 Set me as a seal over your heart,
as a seal upon your arm,
for love is as strong as death,
passionate love unrelenting as the grave.[a]
Its darts are darts of fire—
divine flame!
7 Rushing waters can’t quench love;
rivers can’t wash it away.
If someone gave
all his estate in exchange for love,
he would be laughed to utter shame.
