6 Set me as a seal on your heart,

as a seal on your arm.  *

For love is as strong as death;  *

jealousy is as unrelenting as Sheol.

Love’s flames are fiery flames  *  —

an almighty flame!  *

7 A huge torrent cannot extinguish love;

rivers cannot sweep it away.

If a man were to give all his wealth  * for love,  *

it would be utterly scorned.
