Song of Solomon 8:6–14
6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death,
passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a raging flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If one offered for love
all the wealth of one’s house,
it would be utterly scorned.
and she has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister,
on the day when she is spoken for?
we will build upon her a battlement of silver;
but if she is a door,
we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
and my breasts were like towers;
then I was in his eyes
as one who bringsb peace.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon;
he entrusted the vineyard to keepers;
each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.
12 My vineyard, my very own, is for myself;
you, O Solomon, may have the thousand,
and the keepers of the fruit two hundred!
13 O you who dwell in the gardens,
my companions are listening for your voice;
let me hear it.
and be like a gazelle
or a young stag
upon the mountains of spices!
