Song of Solomon 8:5 in context

  1. 3His left hand would be under my head.
    His right hand would embrace me.
  2. 4I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,
    that you not stir up, nor awaken love,
    until it so desires.
  3. 5Who is this who comes up from the wilderness,
    leaning on her beloved?
    Under the apple tree I aroused you.
    There your mother conceived you.

  4. 6Set me as a seal on your heart,
    as a seal on your arm;
    for love is strong as death.
    Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol.
    Its flashes are flashes of fire,
    a very flame of Yahweh.
  5. 7Many waters can’t quench love,
    neither can floods drown it.
    If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love,
    he would be utterly scorned.
