6. Hold me close to your heart like the seal around your neck. Keep me close to yourself like the ring on your finger. My love for you is so strong it won't let you go. Love is as powerful as death. Love's jealousy is as strong as the grave. Love is like a blazing fire. It burns like a mighty flame.
7. No amount of water can put it out. Rivers can't drown it. Suppose someone offers all of his wealth to buy love. That won't even come close to being enough." The woman's brothers say,
8. "We have a little sister. Her breasts are still small. What should we do for our sister when she gets engaged?
9. If she were a wall, we'd build silver towers on her. If she were a door, we'd cover her with cedar boards." The woman says to the king,
10. "I am a wall. My breasts are like well-built towers. So in your eyes I've become like someone who makes you happy.
11. Solomon, you had a vineyard in Baal Hamon. You rented your vineyard to others. They had to pay 25 pounds of silver for its fruit.
12. But I can give my own vineyard to anyone I want to. So I give my 25 pounds of silver to you, Solomon. Give 5 pounds to those who take care of its fruit." The king says,
13. "My love, you live in the gardens. My friends listen for your voice. But let me hear it now." The woman says,
14. "Come away with me, my love. Be like an antelope or like a young deer on mountains that are full of spices."
