Song of Solomon 8

6 "Put me like a seal over your heart,

Like a seal on your arm.

For love is as strong as death,

* 8:6 Or Its passion is as inflexible Jealousy is as severe as Sheol;

Its flames are flames of fire,

* 8:6 Another reading is A vehement flame The flame of the Lord.

7 "Many waters cannot quench love,

Nor will rivers flood over it;

If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love,

It would be utterly despised."

The Chorus
