18 Then the priest shall stand the woman before the Lord, uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that brings a curse.
19 And the priest shall put her under oath, and say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone astray to uncleanness while under your husband’s authority, be free from this bitter water that brings a curse.
20 But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain with you”—
21 then the priest shall aput the woman under the oath of the curse, and he shall say to the woman—b“the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your thigh1 rot and your belly swell;  
22 and may this water that causes the curse ago into your stomach, and make your belly swell and your thigh rot.” ‘bThen the woman shall say, “Amen, so be it.”
