Song of Solomon 8:7 in Context — Song of Solomon 8
5 Qui est celle qui monte du désert, Appuyée sur son bien-aimé? Je t’ai réveillée sous le pommier; Là ta mère t’a enfantée, C’est là qu’elle t’a enfantée, qu’elle t’a donné le jour.
6 Mets-moi comme un sceau sur ton cœur, Comme un sceau sur ton bras; Car l’amour est fort comme la mort, La jalousie est inflexible comme le séjour des morts; Ses ardeurs sont des ardeurs de feu, Une flamme de l’Éternel.
7 Les grandes eaux ne peuvent éteindre l’amour, Et les fleuves ne le submergeraient pas; Quand un homme offrirait tous les biens de sa maison contre l’amour, Il ne s’attirerait que le mépris.
8 Nous avons une petite sœur, Qui n’a point encore de mamelles; Que ferons-nous de notre sœur, Le jour où on la recherchera?
9 Si elle est un mur, Nous bâtirons sur elle des créneaux d’argent; Si elle est une porte, Nous la fermerons avec une planche de cèdre.
