The Jerusalem Bible, Song of Songs 2:8-10, 14, 16a; 8:6-7

My dove, hiding in the clefts of the rock,
in the coverts of the cliff,
show me your face,
for your voice is sweet
and your face is beautiful.

My Beloved is mine and I am his.
He said to me:
“Set me like a seal on your heart,
like a seal on your arm,
For love is strong as Death,
jealously relentless as Sheol.
The flash of it is a flash of fir,
a flame of the Lord himself.

Love no flood can quench,
no torrents drown.
