Job 31:10-12

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁰ Then let my wife grind [meal, like a bondslave] for another, and let others bow down upon her.

¹¹ For [adultery] is a heinous and chief crime, an iniquity [to demand action by] the judges and punishment.^(A)

¹² For [uncontrolled passion] is a fire which consumes to Abaddon (to destruction, ruin, and the place of final torment); [that fire once lighted would rage until all is consumed] and would burn to the root all my [life’s] increase.
