New Testament

Numbers 5:27-31 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

27. “When he makes her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, the water that brings a curse will enter her and cause bitter suffering; her belly will swell, and her thigh will shrivel. She will become a curse among her people.

28. But if the woman has not defiled herself and is pure, she will be unaffected and will be able to conceive children.

29. “This is the law regarding jealousy when a wife goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,

30. or when a feeling of jealousy comes over a husband and he becomes jealous of his wife. He is to have the woman stand before the Lord, and the priest will apply this entire ritual to her.

31. The husband will be free of guilt, but that woman will bear the consequences of her guilt.”
