For that would have been wicked, a sin to be judged.

Wanting another woman would have been an evil thing. It would have been a sin that should be judged.

For that would be a heinous crime; that would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;

For that would be a disgrace; it would be an iniquity deserving punishment.

For that would be a lustful crime; Moreover, it would be wrongdoing punishable by judges.

For that would be wickedness; Yes, it would be iniquity deserving of judgment.

For that were a heinous crime; Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:

For that would be a disgrace; it would be a crime deserving punishment.

For this[ is] an heinous crime; yea, it[ is] an iniquity[ to be punished by] the judges.

For I would have committed a shameful act, an iniquity to be judged.

For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;

“ If a man commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, both the man and the woman who have committed adultery must be put to death.

“ If a man is discovered committing adultery, both he and the woman must die. In this way, you will purge Israel of such evil.“ Suppose a man meets a young woman, a virgin who is engaged to be married, and he has sexual intercourse with her. If this happens within a town,you must take both of them to the gates of that town and stone them to death. The woman is guilty because she did not scream for help. The man must die because he violated another man’s wife. In this way, you will purge this evil from among you.

If so, I should be punished by the judges, for it would mean I had denied the God of heaven.

About three months later, Judah was told,“ Tamar, your daughter in law, has acted like a prostitute. And now, because of this, she’s pregnant.”“ Bring her out, and let her be burned!” Judah demanded.

“ How could you do this to us?” Abimelech exclaimed.“ One of my people might easily have taken your wife and slept with her, and you would have made us guilty of great sin.”

I will punish you for your murder and adultery. I will cover you with blood in my jealous fury.

Then Abimelech called for Abraham.“ What have you done to us?” he demanded.“ What crime have I committed that deserves treatment like this, making me and my kingdom guilty of this great sin? No one should ever do what you have done!

“ You must not commit adultery.

So it is with the man who sleeps with another man’s wife. He who embraces her will not go unpunished.Excuses might be found for a thief who steals because he is starving.But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house.But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself.He will be wounded and disgraced. His shame will never be erased.

No one here has more authority than I do. He has held back nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.”
