Song of Solomon 8:7

מַיִם רַבִּים לֹא יֽוּכְלוּ לְכַבּוֹת אֶת ־ הָֽאַהֲבָה וּנְהָרוֹת לֹא יִשְׁטְפוּהָ אִם ־ יִתֵּן אִישׁ אֶת ־ כָּל ־ הוֹן בֵּיתוֹ בָּאַהֲבָה בּוֹז יָבוּזוּ לֽוֹ ׃ ס

Hebrew Tanakh (Original)

In The King James Version

Matthew Henry on Song of Solomon 8:6-8

The Church's Dependence on Christ; The Love of the Church to Christ. 5 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?
