New American Standard Bible

Chapter 8

7 Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers flood over it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, It would be utterly despised.' 8 'We have a little sister, And she has no breasts; What shall we do for our sister On the day when she is spoken for?

King James Version

Chapter 8

7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

8 We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?

Christian Standard Bible

New Living Translation
