Song of Solomon 8:6-8
American Standard Version
Song of Solomon 8:6-8
American Standard Version
6 Set me as a seal upon thy heart,
As a seal upon thine arm:
For love is strong as death;
Jealousy is [a]cruel as Sheol;
The flashes thereof are flashes of fire,
[b]A very flame of [c]Jehovah.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
Neither can floods drown it:
If a man would give all the substance of his house for love,
[d]He would utterly be contemned.
8 We have a little sister,
And she hath no breasts:
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she shall be spoken for?

Song of Songs 8:6-8
New International Version
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love(A) is as strong as death,
its jealousy[a](B) unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.[b]
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
it[c] would be utterly scorned.(C)
Friends
8 We have a little sister,
and her breasts are not yet grown.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
