Numbers 5:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And he shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and he shall cast a little earth of the pavement of the tabernacle into it.

¹⁸ And when the woman shall stand before the Lord, he shall uncover her head, and shall, put on her hands the sacrifice of remembrance, and the oblation of jealousy: and he himself shall hold the most bitter waters, whereon he hath heaped curses with execration.

¹⁹ And he shall adjure her, and shall say: If another man hath not slept with thee, and if thou be not defiled by forsaking thy husband's bed, these most bitter waters, on which I have heaped curses, shall not hurt thee.
