Song of Songs 8:5-12
5Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved?
I roused you under the apple tree;there your mother conceived you;there she travailed and brought you forth.
6Set me as a seal over your heart,as a seal upon your arm.For love is as strong as death,its jealousy1 as unrelenting as Sheol.Its sparks are fiery flames,the fiercest blaze of all.7Mighty waters cannot quench love;rivers cannot sweep it away.If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love,his offer would be utterly scorned.
8We have a little sister,and her breasts are not yet grown.What shall we do for our sisteron the day she is spoken for?9If she is a wall,we will build a tower of silver upon her.If she is a door,we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
10I am a wall,and my breasts are like towers.So I have become in his eyeslike one who brings peace.11Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon.He leased it to the tenants.For its fruit, each was to bringa thousand shekels of silver.212But my own vineyard is mine to give;the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon,and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.
