Song of Solomon 8:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Much water cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, they would greatly contemn it.
8 [a]We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister when she shall be spoken for?
9 [b]If she be a wall, we will build upon her a silver palace: and if she be a door, we will keep her in with boards of cedar.
