Numbers 5:19-22

King James Version

¹⁹And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:

²⁰But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:

²¹Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;

²²And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

New International Version

¹⁹Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray^(A) and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse^(B) not harm you. ²⁰But if you have gone astray^(C) while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— ²¹here the priest is to put the woman under this curse^(D)—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse^[a] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. ²²May this water^(E) that brings a curse^(F) enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”
