Song of Solomon 8:5-7, 13-14 NLT Who is this sweeping in from the desert, leaning on her lover? I aroused you under the apple tree, where your mother gave you birth, where in great pain she delivered you. 6 Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. 7 Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned.

13 O my darling, lingering in the gardens, your companions are fortunate to hear your voice. Let me hear it, too! 14 Come away, my love! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
