The Song's summit.

Read the rest, the context and the outline

The Song's summit. 'Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as Sheol; the flashes thereof are flashes of fire, a very flame of Jehovah. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would utterly be contemned.' The little sister, the vineyard of Solomon let out for silver: 'my vineyard, which is mine, is before me.' The last word is the bride's call: 'Make haste, my beloved,' upon the mountains of spices.
