Song of Songs 8:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ No amount of water can put it out.
    Rivers can’t sweep it away.
Suppose someone offers
    all their wealth to buy love.
    That won’t even come close to being enough.”

⁸ “We have a little sister.
    Her breasts are still small.
What should we do for our sister
    when she gets engaged?
⁹ If she were a wall,
    we’d build silver towers on her.
If she were a door,
    we’d cover her with cedar boards.”
