6. Set me as a seal upon your heart,as a seal upon your arm;For Love is strong as Death,longing is fierce as Sheol.Its arrows are arrows of fire,flames of the divine.
7. Deep waters cannot quench love,nor rivers sweep it away.Were one to offer all the wealth of his house for love,he would be utterly despised.
8. W “We have a little sister;she has no breasts as yet.What shall we do for our sisteron the day she is spoken for?
9. If she is a wall,we will build upon her a silver turret;But if she is a door,we will board her up with cedar planks.”
10. I am a wall,and my breasts are like towers.I became in his eyesas one who brings peace.
11. M? Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon;he gave over the vineyard to caretakers.For its fruit one would have to paya thousand silver pieces.
12. My vineyard is at my own disposal;the thousand pieces are for you, Solomon,and two hundred for the caretakers of its fruit.
13. M You who dwell in the gardens,my companions are listening for your voice—let me hear it!
14. W Swiftly, my lover,be like a gazelle or a young stagupon the mountains of spices.
