If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or[ if] I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;[ Then] let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.For this[ is] an heinous crime; yea, it[ is] an iniquity[ to be punished by] the judges.For it[ is] a fire[ that] consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
They[ are] all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker,[ who] ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.In the day of our king the princes have made[ him] sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen:[ there is] none among them that calleth unto me.
