Then the priest will administer the oath and the curse by saying: 22 and this water that brings a curse shall go into your stomach, and make your abdomen swell and your thigh waste away.” And the woman shall say, “Amen. Amen.” 23 The priest will write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water.
