The Song of Songs 8:6-7
The Nature of True Love
The Beloved to Her Lover:
8:6 Set me like a cylinder seal over your heart,
like a signet on your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
passion is as unrelenting as Sheol.
Its flames burst forth,
it is a blazing flame.
8:7 Surging waters cannot quench love;
floodwaters cannot overflow it.
If someone were to offer all his possessions to buy love,
the offer would be utterly despised.
The Song of Songs 8:1

nursing at my mother’s breasts;
if I saw you outside, I could kiss you –
surely no one would despise me!
