Job 31:9-12
New International Version
9 “If my heart has been enticed(A) by a woman,(B)
or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 then may my wife grind(C) another man’s grain,
and may other men sleep with her.(D)
11 For that would have been wicked,(E)
a sin to be judged.(F)
12 It is a fire(G) that burns to Destruction[a];(H)
it would have uprooted my harvest.(I)

Job 31:9-12
International Standard Version
No Adultery
9 “If my heart has been seduced by a woman
and I’ve laid in wait at my friend’s door,
10 then let my wife cook[a] for another person
and may someone else sleep with her,
11 because something as lascivious as that
is an iniquity that should be judged.
12 The fires of Abaddon[b] will burn,[c]
disrupting every part of my eternal reward.”[d]
Job 31:9-12
King James Version
9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
