Song of Solomon 8:7-12 in English

⁷ Many waters cannot quench love, Neither can floods drown it: If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, He would utterly be contemned.

⁸ We have a little sister, And she hath no breasts: What shall we do for our sister In the day when she shall be spoken for?

⁹ If she be a wall, We will build upon her a turret of silver: And if she be a door, We will inclose her with boards of cedar.

⁷ Much water will not be able to quench love, and rivers shall not drown it; if a man would give all his substance for love, men would utterly despise it.

⁸ Our sister is little, and has no breasts; what shall we do for our sister, in the day wherein she shall be spoken for?

¹⁰ I am a wall, and my breasts are as towers; I was in their eyes as one that found peace.
