Song of Solomon 8:5-7
World English Bible

Friends

5 Who is this who comes up from the wilderness,
    leaning on her beloved?

Beloved

Under the apple tree I awakened you.
    There your mother conceived you.
    There she was in labor and bore you.

6 Set me as a seal on your heart,
    as a seal on your arm;
    for love is strong as death.
    Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol.[a]
    Its flashes are flashes of fire,
    a very flame of Yahweh.[b]
7 Many waters can’t quench love,
    neither can floods drown it.
If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love,
    he would be utterly scorned.
