Job 31:9-12
Christian Standard Bible
9 If my heart has gone astray over a woman
or I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 let my own wife grind grain for another man,
and let other men sleep with[a] her.
11 For that would be a disgrace;
it would be an iniquity deserving punishment.(A)
12 For it is a fire that consumes down to Abaddon;
it would destroy my entire harvest.(B)
