Song of Solomon 8:5-7

New International Version - UK

⁵ Who is this coming up from the wilderness
    leaning on her beloved?

Under the apple tree I roused you;
    there your mother conceived you,
    there she who was in labour gave you birth.
⁶ Place me like a seal over your heart,
    like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
    its jealousy^[a] unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
    like a mighty flame.^[b]
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
    rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
    all the wealth of one’s house for love,
    it^[c] would be utterly scorned.
