Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD.

ગુજરાતીગીતોનું ગીત ૮:૬
મને તારા હૃદય પર મુદ્રા તરીકે અને તારા હાથ પરની વીંટી તરીકે બેસાડ. કેમ કે પ્રેમ મોત સમાન બળવાન છે. અને ઈર્ષ્યા શેઓલ જેવી ક્રૂર છે; તેના ચમકારા; અગ્નિની જ્વાળા જેવા પ્રબળ છે.
हिन्दीश्रेष्ठगीत ८:६
मुझे नगीने के समान अपने हृदय पर लगा रख, और ताबीज़ की समान अपनी बाँह पर रख; क्योंकि प्रेम मृत्यु के तुल्य सामर्थी है, और ईर्ष्या कब्र के समान निर्दयी है। उसकी ज्वाला अग्नि की दमक है वरन् परमेश्वर ही की ज्वाला है। (यशा. 49:16)

In context

5Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you. There your mother conceived you. There she was in labor and bore you.

6Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD.

7Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.

8We have a little sister. She has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister in the day when she is to be spoken for?
