If she be defiled

But if you have been with another in place of your husband and have made yourself unclean with a lover:

But her end is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword;

And I saw a thing more bitter than death, even the woman whose heart is full of tricks and nets, and whose hands are as bands. He with whom God is pleased will get free from her, but the sinner will be taken by her.

What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death.

To the one it is a perfume of death to death; to the other a perfume of life to life. And who is enough for such things?

For if we do evil on purpose after we have had the knowledge of what is true, there is no more offering for sins,

But specially those who go after the unclean desires of the flesh, and make sport of authority. Ready to take chances, uncontrolled, they have no fear of saying evil of those in high places:

The woman

And you will become a wonder and a name of shame among all the nations where the Lord will take you.

And your name will become a curse to my people, and the Lord God will put you to death, and give his servants another name:

I will give them up to be a cause of fear and of trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth; to be a name of shame and common talk and a cutting word and a curse in all the places wherever I will send them wandering.

I will go after them, attacking them with the sword and with need of food and with disease, and will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse and a wonder and a surprise and a name of shame among all the nations where I have sent them:

For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: As my wrath and passion have been let loose on the people of Jerusalem, so will my passion be let loose on you when you go into Egypt: and you will become an oath and a cause of wonder and a curse and a name of shame; and you will never see this place again.

And it will come about that, as you were a curse among the nations, O children of Judah and children of Israel, so I will give you salvation and you will be a blessing: have no fear and let your hands be strong.

If a man is taken in the act of going in to a married woman, the two of them, the man as well as the woman, are to be put to death: so you are to put away the evil from Israel.
