Song of Solomon 8:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ Raging water cannot extinguish love,
and rivers will never wash it away.
If a man exchanged all his family’s wealth for love,
people would utterly despise him.

⁸ We have a little sister, and she has no breasts.
What will we do for our sister on the day she becomes engaged?
⁹ If she is a wall, we will build a silver barrier around her.
If she is a door, we will barricade her with cedar boards.
