Song of Solomon 8:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ Who is this coming out of the desert,
    leaning on her lover?

I woke you under the apple tree.
    It was there that you were born.
    There your mother gave birth to you.
⁶ Put me like a seal on your heart,
    like a seal on your arm.
Love is as strong as death.
    Desire is as strong as the grave.
Love bursts into flames.
    It burns like a very hot fire.
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.
