Set Me as a Seal on Your Heart (Song of Solomon 8:6-7)

Song of Solomon 8:6-7 · Berean Standard Bible

"Place me like a seal over your heart... for love is as strong as death... Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away." Song of Solomon 8:6-7 is the Bible's most passionate portrait of romantic, covenant love — fiercely loyal and impossible to extinguish — which is why it is treasured as a wedding reading.

6Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all.

7Mighty waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, his offer would be utterly scorned.
