Song of Solomon 8:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ Mighty bodies of water cannot extinguish love,
    rivers cannot put it out.
If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love,
    he would surely be viewed with contempt.

⁸ We^[a] have a little sister,
    and she has not yet reached maturity.^[b]
What will we do for our sister
    to prepare her for^[c] her engagement?^[d]
9 If she’s a wall,
    on her we will build a battlement of silver.
If she’s a door,
    we will enclose her with planks of cedar.
