In Scripture World English Bible

Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of Yahweh.

Song of Songs 8:6 The root of chatimah — a seal set on the heart, as love's own claim.

But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased.”

Daniel 12:4 A book sealed until its time — the image the greeting borrows for the year's verdict.
