“Many waters can’t quench love,neither can floods drown it.If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love,he would be utterly scorned.”
Song of Solomon 8:7 (WEB)
Context Reading
5Who is this who comes up from the wilderness,leaning on her beloved?BelovedUnder the apple tree I awakened you.There your mother conceived you.There she was in labor and bore you. 6Set me as a seal on your heart,as a seal on your arm;for love is strong as death.Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol.Its flashes are flashes of fire,a very flame of Yah. 7Many waters can’t quench love,neither can floods drown it.If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love,he would be utterly scorned. 8We have a little sister.She has no breasts.What shall we do for our sisterin the day when she is to be spoken for? 9If she is a wall,we will build on her a turret of silver.If she is a door,we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
