Song of Songs 8:5-7

5Who is this that cometh upH5927 from the wildernessH4057, leaningH7514 upon her belovedH1730? I raisedH5782 thee up under the apple treeH8598: there thy motherH517 brought thee forthH2254: there she brought thee forthH2254 that bareH3205 thee.

6SetH7760 me as a sealH2368 upon thine heartH3820, as a sealH2368 upon thine armH2220: for loveH160 is strongH5794 as deathH4194; jealousyH7068 is cruelH7186 as the graveH7585: the coalsH7565 thereof are coalsH7565 of fireH784, which hath a most vehement flameH7957.1 7ManyH7227 watersH4325 cannotH3201 quenchH3518 loveH160, neither can the floodsH5104 drownH7857 it: if a manH376 would giveH5414 all the substanceH1952 of his houseH1004 for loveH160, it would utterlyH936 be contemnedH936.
