They’ll say to the Lord,“ We didn’t kill that person. We didn’t see it happen.

and they shall testify,‘ Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it shed.

Then they must say,‘ Our hands did not shed this person’s blood, nor did we see it happen.

They will declare,‘ Our hands did not shed this blood; our eyes did not see it.

and they shall respond and say,‘ Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see who did.

Then they shall answer and say,‘ Our hands have not shed this blood, nor have our eyes seen it.

and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

They will declare,‘ Our hands did not shed this blood; our eyes did not see it.

And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen[ it].

Then they must proclaim,“ Our hands have not spilled this blood, nor have we witnessed the crime.

They shall answer and say,“ Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

The Lord has repaid you for all the blood you shed in the household of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. The Lord has given the kingdom into the hands of your son Absalom. You have come to ruin because you are a murderer!”

Lord my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands—if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe—

Who denounces their conduct to their face? Who repays them for what they have done?They are carried to the grave, and watch is kept over their tombs.The soil in the valley is sweet to them; everyone follows after them, and a countless throng goes before them.“ So how can you console me with your nonsense? Nothing is left of your answers but falsehood!”

Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her,“ If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you.But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”—here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“ may the Lord cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell.May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”“‘ Then the woman is to say,“ Amen. So be it.”“‘ The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water.He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her.The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar.The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water.If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse.If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.

For what do they care about the families they leave behind when their allotted months come to an end?“ Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since he judges even the highest?One person dies in full vigor, completely secure and at ease,
