Song of Solomon 8:7

Love Renewed in Lebanon

A Relative

5 ^aWho is this coming up from the wilderness,
Leaning upon her beloved?
I awakened you under the apple tree.
There your mother brought you forth;
There she who bore you brought you forth.

The Shulamite to Her Beloved

6 ^aSet me as a seal upon your heart,
As a seal upon your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
^bJealousy as¹ cruel as the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire,
¹A most vehement flame.

7 Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor can the floods drown it.
^aIf a man would give for love
All the wealth of his house,
It would be utterly despised.

The Shulamite’s Brothers

8 ^aWe have a little sister,
And she has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she is spoken for?

9 If she is a wall,
We will build upon her
A battlement of silver;
And if she is a door,
We will enclose her
With boards of cedar.
