Song of Solomon 8:5

Read in context

Song of Solomon 8:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.

4 O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.

5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved?

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.

7 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.
