Numbers 5:20-25 Good News Bible (GNB)

20. But if you have committed adultery,

21. may the Lord make your name a curse among your people. May he cause your genital organs to shrink and your stomach to swell up.

22. May this water enter your stomach and cause it to swell up and your genital organs to shrink.”The woman shall respond, “I agree; may the Lord do so.”

23. Then the priest shall write this curse down and wash the writing off into the bowl of bitter water.

24. Before he makes the woman drink the water, which may then cause her bitter pain,

25. the priest shall take the offering of flour out of the woman's hands, hold it out in dedication to the Lord, and present it on the altar.
