Song of Songs 8:6-9

Song of Songs 8:6-9 NCV

Put me like a seal on your heart, like a seal on your arm. Love is as strong as death; jealousy is as strong as the grave. Love bursts into flames and burns like a hot fire. Even much water cannot put out the flame of love; floods cannot drown love. If a man offered everything in his house for love, people would totally reject it. We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What should we do for our sister on the day she becomes engaged? If she is a wall, we will put silver towers on her. If she is a door, we will protect her with cedar boards.

Song of Songs 8:6-9 - Put me like a seal on your heart,
like a seal on your arm.
Love is as strong as death;
jealousy is as strong as the grave.
Love bursts into flames
and burns like a hot fire.
Even much water cannot put out the flame of love;
floods cannot drown love.
If a man offered everything in his house for love,
people would totally reject it.

We have a little sister,
and her breasts are not yet grown.
What should we do for our sister
on the day she becomes engaged?
If she is a wall,
we will put silver towers on her.
If she is a door,
we will protect her with cedar boards.
