Numbers 5:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 But if thou hast turned from thine husband, and so art defiled, and some man hath lain with thee besides thine husband,
21 (Then the Priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the Priest shall say unto the woman:) The Lord make thee to be [a]accursed, and detestable for the oath among the people, and the Lord cause thy thigh to [b]rot, and thy belly to swell:
22 And that this cursed water may go into thy bowels, to cause thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot. Then the woman shall answer, [c]Amen, Amen.
