Song of Solomon 8:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ Even much water cannot put out the flame of love;
    floods cannot ·drown [flood] love.
If a man offered ·everything [^Lall the wealth] in his house for love,
    ·people would totally reject it [or he would be completely despised].

⁸ We have a ·little [small] sister,
    and ·her breasts are not yet grown [^Lshe has no breasts].
What should we do for our sister
    on the day she ·becomes engaged [^Lis spoken for; ^Cbrothers were in charge of marriage negotiations]?
⁹ If she is a wall [^Cchaste],
    we will put silver towers on her [^Csupport and honor her].
If she is a door [^Cpromiscuous],
    we will ·protect [enclose] her with cedar boards [^Cput a stop to her sexual activity].
