Song of Songs 8:7
Berean Standard Bible
Mighty 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.
Context
5Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
leaning on her beloved? 6(5) I roused you under the apple tree;
there your mother conceived you;
there she travailed and brought you forth.
(6) Set me as a seal over your heart,
as a seal upon your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
its jealousy * 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 sister
on the day she is spoken for? 9If she is a wall,
we will build a tower of silver to protect her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
