9 “If my heart has been enticed by a woman,

or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

10 then may my wife grind another man’s grain,

and may other men sleep with her.

11 For that would have been wicked,

a sin to be judged.

9 “If my heart has been enticed toward a woman,

and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,

10 then let my wife grind for another,

and let others bow down on her.

11 For that would be a heinous crime;

that would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;

9 “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 another man;

let other men sleep with her.

11 For lust is a shameful sin,

a crime that should be punished.

9 “If my heart has been enticed by a woman,

Or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

10 Then let my wife grind for another,

And let others bow down over her.

11 For that would be wickedness;

Yes, it would be iniquity deserving of judgment.

9 “If I have desired another woman

or have waited at my neighbor’s door for his wife,

10 then let my wife grind another man’s grain,

and let other men have sexual relations with her.

11 That would be shameful,

a sin to be punished.

9 If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman,

And I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door;

10 Then let my wife grind unto another,

And let others bow down upon her.

11 For that were a heinous crime;

Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:

9 If my heart have been enticed unto a woman, so that I laid wait at my neighbour’s door, 10 Let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down upon her. 11 For this is an infamy; yea, it is an iniquity to be judged by the judges:

9 “If I have been seduced by a woman 

or I have secretly waited near my neighbor’s door, 

10 ⸤then⸥ let my wife grind for another ⸤man⸥, 

and let other ⸤men⸥ kneel over her. 

11 That would be a scandal, 

and that would be a criminal offense. 

9 If my heart has been seduced by my neighbor’s wife

or I have lurked at his door,

10 let my own wife grind grain for another man,

and let other men sleep with her.

11 For that would be a disgrace;

it would be a crime deserving punishment.

9 “If my heart has been enticed by a woman,

and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door;

10 then let my wife grind for another,

and let other men kneel over her.

11 For that would be a heinous crime;

that would be a criminal offense;

9 “If my heart has been enticed by a woman,

and at my neighbor’s doorway I have lain in wait,

10 let my wife grind for another,

and let other men kneel over her,

11 for that is a shameful act,

and that is a criminal offense.

9 “Suppose my heart has been tempted by a woman.

Or suppose I’ve prowled around my neighbor’s door.

10 Then may my wife grind another man’s grain.

May other men have sex with her.

11 Wanting another woman would have been a shameful thing.

It would have been a sin that should be judged.

9 “If my heart has been enticed by a woman,

Or I have lurked at my neighbor’s doorway,

10 May my wife grind for another,

And let others kneel down over her.

11 “For that would be a lustful crime;

Moreover, it would be an iniquity punishable by judges.
