"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" (Song of Solomon 8:7 KJV).
Many waters, or floods cannot extinguish God's love which is pictured as "coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame" in verse six.
cannot quench = earthly things cannot destroy that which is divine.
"Many waters cannot quench the flame of love, neither can the floods drown it. If a man tried to buy it with everything he owned, he couldn't do it" (TLB).
Can't buy me love...Beatles
"But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
