Job 31:9-12
9“If my heart has been 1enticed by a woman, Or I have lurked at my neighbor’s doorway,10May my wife 2grind grain for another, And let 3others 4kneel down over her.11For that would be a 5lustful crime; Moreover, it would be 6wrongdoing punishable by judges.12For it would be 7fire that consumes to 89Abaddon, And would 10uproot all my 11increase.
