Song of Solomon 8:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]Set me as a seal on thine heart, and as a signet upon thine arm: for love is strong as death: jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are fiery coals, and a vehement flame.
7 Much water cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, they would greatly contemn it.
8 [b]We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister when she shall be spoken for?
