The words that love is strong as death
사랑은 죽음 같이 강하다 하는 말
Song of Solomon 8:5–7: the text says, “Who 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. 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. Many 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.” WEB sets a speaker label after the question of 8:5, which is a heading and not the verse’s words; the quotation leaves it out at the mark “…”. The Korean Revised Version asks 여자가 누구인고, naming a woman where WEB reads “Who is this”, and gives the rest of 8:5 in another order (너를 인하여 네 어미가 신고한, 너를 낳은 자가 애쓴 그 곳 사과나무 아래서 내가 너를 깨웠노라).
