9. If mine lev have been deceived by an isha, or if I have lurked at petach (doorway) of my re'a;
10. Then let my isha grind for another, and let another kneel over her.
11. For this is a heinous crime; yea, it is an avon to be brought before judges.
12. For it is an eish that consumeth to Abaddon, and would root out all mine increase.
13. If I did despise the mishpat (cause) of my eved or of my amah, when they contended with me,
14. What then shall I do when El riseth up? And when He visiteth, what shall I answer Him?

23. For destruction from El was a pachad to me, and by reason of His majesty I could not endure.

26. If I beheld the ohr when it shined, or the yarei'ach moving in splendor,
27. And my lev hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my yad [in heathen worship];
28. This also were an avon to be punished by the judge; for then I would have been unfaithful, denying El that is on high.
29. If I rejoice at the misfortune of him that hated me, or gloated when rah found him,
