20 But if you have gone astray while under the authority of your husband, and if you have defiled yourself and a man other than your husband has had intercourse with you”—
21 so shall the priest adjure the woman with this imprecation—“may the Lord make you a curse and malediction among your people by causing your uterus to fall and your belly to swell!
22 May this water, then, that brings a curse, enter your bowels to make your belly swell and your uterus fall!” And the woman shall say, “Amen, amen!”
23 The priest shall put these curses in writing and shall then wash them off into the water of bitterness,
24 and he will have the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings a curse, so that the water that brings a curse may enter into her to her bitter hurt.
25 But first the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the woman’s hand, and having elevated the grain offering before the Lord, shall bring it to the altar,
26 where he shall take a handful of the grain offering as a token offering and burn it on the altar. Only then shall he have the woman drink the water.
