Song of Solomon 8:7
King James Version
“Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.”
Context
4I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake love, until he please.
5Who this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth bare thee.
6Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love strong as death; jealousy cruel as the grave: the coals thereof coals of fire, most vehement flame.
7Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
8We 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?
9If she a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
10I a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
