18 There are peoplewho violate their marriage bed,saying to themselves, Who will see me?Darkness envelops me;the walls hide me;no one will see me.Why do I have a care?The Most Highwill never recall my sins.
19 They fear human eyes,but they are unawarethat the eyes of the Lordare ten thousand times brighterthan the sun;they observe all the waysof human beingsand look into hidden places.
20 Before all things were created,God knew them;so as well after they were finished.
21 These people will be punishedin the streets of the city,and when they least expect it,they will be seized.
22 So it is with a womanwhen she is unfaithful to her husbandand she presents him with an heirby another man.
23 First, she’s disobeyedthe Law of the Most High;second, she’s wronged her husband;third, she’s committed adulteryby her illicit sexual behaviorand produced childrenby another man.
24 She will be led into the assembly,and her punishmentwill be upon her children.
