Song of Solomon 8:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Love cannot be drowned
    by oceans or floods.
It cannot be bought—
any offer would be scorned
    no matter how great.

⁸ We have a little sister
whose breasts
    are not yet formed.
If someone asks to marry her,
    what should we do?
⁹ She isn't a wall
that we can defend
    behind a silver shield.
Neither is she a room
that we can protect
    behind a wooden door.
