Song of Solomon 8:7 in Context — Song of Solomon 8

5 [Outros] : Quem é esta, que sobe da terra desabitada, reclinada sobre seu amado? [Ela] : Debaixo de uma macieira te despertei; ali tua mãe te teve com dores; ali te deu à luz aquela que te gerou.

6 Põe-me como selo sobre o teu coração, como selo sobre o teu braço; porque o amor é forte como a morte, e o ciúme é severo como o Xeol; suas brasas são brasas de fogo, labaredas intensas.

7 Muitas águas não poderiam apagar este amor, nem os rios afogá-lo; ainda que alguém desse todos os bens de sua casa por este amor, certamente o desprezariam.

8 [Irmãos dela] : Temos uma irmã pequena, que ainda não têm seios; que faremos a esta nossa irmã, no dia que dela falarem?

9 Se ela for um muro, edificaremos sobre ela um palácio de prata; e se ela for uma porta, então a cercaremos com tábuas de cedro.
