6. Set me as a seal on your heart,as a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death; ardent love is as unrelenting as Sheol.Love’s flames are fiery flames —the fiercest of all.
7. Mighty waters cannot extinguish love;rivers cannot sweep it away.If a man were to give all his wealth for love, it would be utterly scorned.
8. Our sister is young;she has no breasts. What will we do for our sisteron the day she is spoken for?
9. If she is a wall,we will build a silver parapet on it.If she is a door,we will enclose it with cedar planks.
10. I am a walland my breasts like towers.So in his eyes I have becomelike one who finds peace.
11. Solomon owned a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased the vineyard to tenants. Each was to bring for his fruit1,000 pieces of silver.
12. I have my own vineyard. The 1,000 are for you, Solomon,but 200 for those who guard its fruits.
13. You who dwell in the gardens —companions are listening for your voice —let me hear you!
14. Hurry to me, my love,and be like a gazelleor a young stagon the mountains of spices.
