“If my heart has been enticed to a woman,
    and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,

    and let others sleep with her.

    Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;
12 for it is a fire that consumes to destruction,
    and would root out all my increase.

“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.
