Song of Solomon 8:6-7
New American Standard Bible
6 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.
7 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.”

Song of Solomon 8:6-7
Revised Standard Version
6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death,
jealousy is cruel as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a most vehement flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If a man offered for love
all the wealth of his house,
it would be utterly scorned.
