Song of Songs 8:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ Even a flood of water cannot stop the flames.
    Rivers of water cannot carry it away.
A man might try to give all his riches
    to buy a woman's love.
But she would refuse to accept what he offers to her.

⁸ We have a younger sister.
    Her breasts have not yet grown.
What will we do to help her
    when it is the time for her to marry?
⁹ If she is a wall,
    we will use silver to build towers on her.
But if she is a door,
    we will use boards of cedar wood to keep the door shut.
