American Standard Version
Song of Solomon 8:7-9
American Standard Version
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
Neither can floods drown it:
If a man would give all the substance of his house for love,
[a]He would utterly be contemned.
8 We have a little sister,
And she hath no breasts:
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she shall be spoken for?
9 If she be a wall,
We will build upon her [b]a turret of silver:
And if she be a door,
We will inclose her with boards of cedar.

7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
it[a] would be utterly scorned.(A)

8 We have a little sister,
and her breasts are not yet grown.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
we will build towers of silver on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
