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 Yahweh.

King James Version Public Domain
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

Place me like the seal on your heart, like the seal on your arm, because strong like death love; unyielding like Sheol zeal. Its flashes flashes of fire, the flame of Yah.
