Song of Solomon 8:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ Water cannot put it out;
    no flood can drown it.
But if any tried to buy love with their wealth,
    contempt is all they would get.

⁸ We have a young sister,
    and her breasts are still small.
What will we do for her
    when a young man comes courting?
⁹ If she is a wall,
    we will build her a silver tower.
But if she is a gate,
    we will protect her with panels of cedar.
