Song of Songs 8:5-12

5“12Who is this coming up from the wilderness Leaning on her beloved?” “3Beneath the 45apple tree I awakened you; There your mother was in labor with you, There she was in labor and gave you birth.6Put me like a 6seal over your heart, Like a 7seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, 89Jealousy is as severe as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, 10The very flame of the Lord.7Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers overflow it; 11If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, It would be utterly despised.”

8“12We have a little sister, And she 13has no breasts; What shall we do for our sister On the day when she is spoken for?9If she is a wall, We will build on her a battlement of silver; But if she is a door, We will barricade her with 14planks of cedar.”

10“15I was a wall, and 16my breasts were like towers; Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace.11Solomon had a 17vineyard at Baal-hamon; He 18entrusted the vineyard to 19caretakers. Each one was to bring a 20thousand shekels of silver for its 21fruit.12My very own vineyard is 22at my disposal; The thousand shekels are for you, Solomon, And two hundred are for those who take care of its fruit.”
