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
English Standard Version

6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,
    as (A)a seal upon your arm,
for (B)love is strong as death,
    (C)jealousy[a] is fierce as the grave.[b]
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
    the very (D)flame of the Lord.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
    neither can floods drown it.
If a man offered for love
    all the wealth of his (E)house,
    he[c] would be utterly despised.
