Song of Solomon 8:7
“Though weak in body the women were courageous in spirit. "Many waters cannot quench charity, neither can floods drown it." He whom they sought was dead, but their hope of the resurrection was not quenched.”
Source: Septuagint
7Much water will not be able to quench love, And rivers shall not drown it; If a man would give all his substance for love, Men would utterly despise it.

5Who is this that comes up all white, Leaning on her kinsman? I raised thee up under an apple tree; There thy mother brought thee forth; There she that bore thee brought thee forth.
6Set me as a seal upon thy heart, As a seal upon thine arm; For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as the grave, Her shafts are shafts of fire, even the flames thereof.
— Song of Solomon 8:7 —
8Our sister is little, and has no breasts; What shall we do for our sister, In the day wherein she shall be spoken for?
9If she is a wall, let us build upon her silver bulwarks; And if she is a door, let us carve for her cedar panels.
