Song of Solomon 8:5-7
New American Standard Bible
The Chorus
5 “(A)Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
Leaning on her beloved?”
The Bride
“Beneath the (B)apple tree I awakened you;
There your mother went into labor with you,
There she was in labor and gave birth to you.
6 Put me like a seal over your heart,
Like a (C)seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
[a](D)Jealousy is as severe as Sheol;
Its flames are flames of fire,
[b]The flame of the Lord.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor will rivers flood over it;
(E)If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love,
It would be utterly despised.”

Friends
5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness(A)
leaning on her beloved?
She
Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother conceived(B) you,
there she who was in labor gave you birth.
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love(C) is as strong as death,
its jealousy[a](D) unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.[b]
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
it[c] would be utterly scorned.(E)
