Job 31:9-12
English Standard Version
9 “If my heart has been enticed toward a woman,
and I have (A)lain in wait at my neighbor's door,
10 then let my wife (B)grind for another,
and let others (C)bow down on her.
11 For that would be a heinous crime;
that would be an iniquity (D)to be punished by the judges;
12 for that would be a fire (E)that consumes as far as Abaddon,
and it would burn to the root all my increase.
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]
