Song of Songs 8:5-7
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.”
