6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,as a seal upon your arm,for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave.Its flashes are flashes of fire,the very flame of the Lord.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,neither can floods drown it.If a man offered for loveall the wealth of his house,he would be utterly despised.
8 We have a little sister,and she has no breasts.What shall we do for our sisteron the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,we will build on her a battlement of silver,but if she is a door,we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
10 I was a wall,and my breasts were like towers;then I was in his eyesas one who finds peace.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon;he let out the vineyard to keepers;each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.
12 My vineyard, my very own, is before me;you, O Solomon, may have the thousand,and the keepers of the fruit two hundred.
