“If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
Or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 Then let my wife grind for (A)another,
And let others bow down over her.
11 For that would be wickedness;
Yes, (B)it would be iniquity deserving of judgment.
12 For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction,
And would root out all my increase.

If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman,
And I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door;
10 Then let my wife grind unto another,
And let others bow down upon her.
11 For that were a heinous crime;
Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:
12 For it is a fire that consumeth unto [a]Destruction,
And would root out all mine increase.
