# Surging waters cannot quench love
|
|
|
|
Love is like a fire that is so hot that it cannot be put out even with an ocean full of water.
|
|
|
|
# Surging waters
|
|
|
|
"Oceans of water" or "Huge amounts of water"
|
|
|
|
# cannot quench
|
|
|
|
"cannot extinguish" or "cannot put out"
|
|
|
|
# nor can floods sweep it away
|
|
|
|
Love is like something that not even a powerful flood can move. In Israel, water from the rain flows into deep and narrow valleys, creating a flood so powerful that it can move huge boulders and trees.
|
|
|
|
# sweep it away
|
|
|
|
"carry it away" or "wash it away"
|
|
|
|
# If a man gave ... the offer would be utterly despised
|
|
|
|
"Even if a man ... he would be utterly despised". Love is so valuable that even all a man's possessions would not be enough to buy love.
|
|
|
|
# all the possessions in his house
|
|
|
|
"everything he owns"
|
|
|
|
# for love
|
|
|
|
"in order to get love" or "in order to buy love"
|
|
|
|
# the offer would be utterly despised
|
|
|
|
"people would completely despise it" |
