FI picked a quote to go on our program and I really like it but everytime I see it somewhere the words are different. I guess the translation has changed or certain bibles have written it differently or it may be another version for a different religion. But I need the quote that's in the Catholic Bible...since we are both Catholic and his father is a deacon. I'm afraid to have the wrong version on my program. Here is the quote       "Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; For stern as death is love, relentless as the nether-world is devotion; it's flames are blazing fire." please let me know if this is the Catholic Bible translation.

Here's a link to the right chapter from the New American Bible, which is the translation used at mass.

The scripture that is used at mass for the readings must be from the lectionary and it is from the New American bible.

If you are putting a quote on your program, you can choose from several translations.

New American, New revised standard, or Douey rheims.

Thank you bilbliophile. Solomon 8:6 correct? I want to make sure the chapter and verse are correct because she's printing them in like two days.

Agapecarrie.....at least I know I'm not going crazy. Everytime I've seen it, it has been different. Here is the quote that is now on the program Solomon 8:6"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.".
 
I just googled this and it showed like 10 different translations. this is why I decided to ask.

We used this whole reading for our OT reading.  This is a scan of the Together for Life Mass planning booklet given by the Church (Click to make bigger).
