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. ‡

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? ‡

10 I am a wall,
And my breasts like towers;
Then I became in his eyes
As one who found peace.

11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon;
^aHe leased the vineyard to keepers;
Everyone was to bring for its fruit
A thousand silver coins. ‡
