5 Who is this woman coming from the desert, leaning on her lover? I woke you under the apple tree, where your mother gave birth to you, where you were born.
6 Keep me near you like a seal you wear over your heart, like a signet ring you wear on your hand. Love is as strong as death. Passion is as strong as the grave. Its sparks become a flame, and it grows to become a great fire!
7 A flood cannot put out love. Rivers cannot drown love. Would people despise a man for giving everything he owns for love?
8 We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What should we do for our sister when a man comes asking to marry her?
9 If she were a wall, we would put silver trim around her. If she were a door, we would put a cedar board around her.
10 I am a wall, and my breasts are my towers. And he is satisfied with me!
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon. He put men in charge of the vineyard. Each man brought in grapes worth 1000 shekels of silver.
