6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,as a seal upon your arm;for love is strong as death,passion fierce as the grave.Its fires of desire are as ardent flames,a most intense flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,neither can floods drown it.If a man offered for loveall the wealth of his house,it would be utterly condemned.
8 We have a little sister,and she has no breasts.What will we do for our sisteron the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,we will build upon 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 leased the vineyard to keepers;each man 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.
