5. Who is this coming up from the wilderness,Leaning upon her beloved?I awakened you under the apple tree.There your mother brought you forth;There she who bore you brought you forth.
6. Set me as a seal upon your heart,As a seal upon your arm;For love is as strong as death,Jealousy as cruel as the grave;Its flames are flames of fire,A most vehement flame.
7. Many waters cannot quench love,Nor can the floods drown it.If a man would give for loveAll the wealth of his house,It would be utterly despised.
8. We have a little sister,And she has no breasts.What shall we do for our sisterIn the day when she is spoken for?
9. If she is a wall,We will build upon herA battlement of silver;And if she is a door,We will enclose herWith boards of cedar.
10. I am a wall,And my breasts like towers;Then I became in his eyesAs one who found peace.
