Song of Solomon 8:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ Who is this young woman
    coming in from the desert
and leaning on the shoulder
    of the one she loves?

I stirred up your passions
under the apple tree
    where you were born.
⁶ Always keep me in your heart
and wear this bracelet
    to remember me by.
The passion of love
    bursting into flame
is more powerful than death,
    stronger than the grave.
⁷ Love cannot be drowned
    by oceans or floods.
It cannot be bought—
any offer would be scorned
    no matter how great.
