6O set me as a seal upon thy heart, As a seal upon thine arm! For love is strong as death; True love is firm as the grave: Its flames are flames of fire, The fire of Jehovah.
7Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can floods drown it. Would a man give all the wealth of his house for love, It would be utterly contemned.
8Br. We have a sister who is yet young; She is yet without breasts. What shall we do with our sister, When she shall be spoken for?
9If she be a wall, We will build upon it a silver tower; If she be an open gate, We will inclose her with planks of cedar.
10Sis. I am a wall, and my breasts like towers; Therefore am I become in his eyes as one that findeth peace.
11Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; He let out the vineyard to keepers; Every one was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.
12My vineyard is before my eyes. Be thine the thousand, O Solomon! And two hundred to the keepers of its fruit!
13Lov. Thou that dwellest in the gardens! Friends listen to thy voice; Let me hear thee!
