Song of Solomon 8:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ Even much water cannot put out the flame of love;
    floods cannot drown love.
If a man offered everything in his house for love,
    people would totally reject it.

⁸ We have a little sister,
    and her breasts are not yet grown.
What should we do for our sister
    on the day she becomes engaged?
⁹ If she is a wall,
    we will put silver towers on her.
If she is a door,
    we will protect her with cedar boards.
