New Testament

Song Of Solomon 8:6-14 American Standard Version (ASV)

6. Set me as a seal upon thy heart, As a seal upon thine arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as Sheol; The flashes thereof are flashes of fire, A very flame of Jehovah.

7. Many waters cannot quench love, Neither can floods drown it: If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, He would utterly be contemned.

8. We have a little sister, And she hath no breasts: What shall we do for our sister In the day when she shall be spoken for?

9. If she be a wall, We will build upon her a turret of silver: And if she be a door, We will inclose her with boards of cedar.

10. I am a wall, and my breasts like the towers thereof Then was I in his eyes as one that found peace.

11. Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; He let out the vineyard unto keepers; Every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.

12. My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: Thou, O Solomon, shalt have the thousand, And those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.

13. Thou that dwellest in the gardens, The companions hearken for thy voice: Cause me to hear it.

14. Make haste, my beloved, And be thou like to a roe or to a young hart Upon the mountains of spices.
