Job 31:9-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 “If my heart has been enticed by a woman
and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,(A)
10 then let my wife grind for another,
and let other men kneel over her.(B)
11 For that would be a heinous crime;
that would be a criminal offense;(C)
12 for that would be a fire consuming down to Abaddon,
and it would burn to the root all my harvest.(D)
Job 31:9-12
New Living Translation
9 “If my heart has been seduced by a woman,
or if I have lusted for my neighbor’s wife,
10 then let my wife serve[a] another man;
let other men sleep with her.
11 For lust is a shameful sin,
a crime that should be punished.
12 It is a fire that burns all the way to hell.[b]
It would wipe out everything I own.
