GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY - SONG OF SONGS 8:6-7

SONG OF SONGS 8:6-7

Set me as a seal on your heart,

set me as a seal on your arm.

For love is strong as death;

its jealousy lasting as the power of death,

it burns like a blazing fire,

it blazes like a mighty flame.

No flood can extinguish love

nor river submerge it.

If a man were to buy love

with all the wealth of his house,

contempt is all he would purchase.

SIRACH 24:19-22

Come to me, you who desire me 

and take your fill of my fruits.  

To experience me is sweeter than honey 

and to possess me 

sweeter than any honeycomb. 

Those who eat me will hunger still; 

those who drink me will thirst for more. 

Those who obey me 

will not be put to shame; 

those who serve me 

will not fall into sin.

The world passes away with all its craving 

but those who do the will of God 

remain for ever.
