6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,

as *Isa. 49:16;Jer. 22:24;Hag. 2:23a seal upon your arm,

for *[Rom. 8:35] love is strong as death,

*[Ex. 34:14]; Deut. 4:24jealousy*8:6 Or ardor is fierce as the grave.*8:6 Hebrew as Sheol

Its flashes are flashes of fire,

the very *[Job 1:16]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 *Prov. 6:35house,

he*8:7 Or it would be utterly despised.
