Song of Solomon 8:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
Song of Solomon 8:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
7 A flood cannot put out love.
Rivers cannot drown love.
Would people despise a man for giving
everything he owns for love?
Her Brothers Speak
8 We have a little sister,
and her breasts are not yet grown.
What should we do for our sister
when a man comes asking to marry her?
9 If she were a wall,
we would put silver trim[a] around her.
If she were a door,
we would put a cedar board around her.
Footnotes
- Song of Solomon 8:9 trim Or “supports.” Often horizontal beams and towers were built into walls to strengthen and support them. But here, this seems to be a decoration.
