Song of Solomon 8

The Nature of Genuine Romantic Love

6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,

as a seal upon your arm;

for love is strong as death;

passion is fierce as Sheol;

its flashes are flashes of fire;

it is a blazing flame.

7 Many waters cannot quench love;

rivers cannot sweep it away.*Or "and rivers cannot engulf it"

If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love,*Literally "in the love"

he would be utterly scorned.*Literally "they will utterly scorn him"
