all the wealth of one’s house for love,

If a man would give all the substance of his house for love,

It would utterly be contemned.

If a man tried to buy love

with all his wealth,

his offer would be utterly scorned.

If a man offered everything in his house for love,

people would totally reject it.

people would utterly despise him. 

7 Mighty waters cannot extinguish love;

rivers cannot sweep it away.

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

it would be utterly scorned.

all the wealth of one’s house,

it would be utterly scorned.

Suppose someone offers

all of his wealth to buy love.

That won’t even come close to being enough.”

Nor will rivers overflow it;

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

It would be utterly despised.”
