9–12“If I’ve let myself be seduced by a woman
and conspired to go to bed with her,
Fine, my wife has every right to go ahead
and sleep with anyone she wants to.
For disgusting behavior like that,
I’d deserve the worst punishment you could hand out.

“If my heart has been enticed toward a woman,
and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,
then let my wife grind for another,
and let others bow down on her.
For that would be a heinous crime;
that would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;

“If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
then may my wife grind another man’s grain,

For that would have been wicked,
a sin to be judged.

If my heart has gone astray over a woman
or I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
let my own wife grind grain for another man,
and let other men sleep with her.
For that would be a disgrace;
it would be an iniquity deserving punishment.

“If my heart has been seduced by a woman,
or if I have lusted for my neighbor’s wife,
then let my wife serve another man;

Yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
