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.”

Set me as a seal upon your heart,
    as a seal upon your arm,
for love is strong as death,
    passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
    a raging flame.(A)
Many waters cannot quench love,
    neither can floods drown it.
If one offered for love
    all the wealth of one’s house,
    it[a] would be utterly scorned.
