18 ‘The priest shall then have the woman stand before the Lord and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and place the grain offering of memorial 1in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy, and in the hand of the priest is to be the water of bitterness that brings a curse.

19 ‘The priest shall have her take an oath and shall say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you and if you have not agone astray into uncleanness, being under the authority of your husband, be 1immune to this water of bitterness that brings a curse;

20 if you, however, have agone astray, being under the authority of your husband, and if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has had intercourse with you”

21 (then the priest shall have the woman aswear with the oath of the curse, and the priest shall say to the woman), “the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people by the Lord’s making your thigh 1waste away and your abdomen swell;

22 and this water that brings a curse shall go into your 1stomach, and make your abdomen swell and your thigh 2waste away.” And the woman ashall say, “Amen. Amen.”
