16 “‘The priest🤵 shall bring her 🅰️and have her 🕴️stand 🐝before4️⃣ the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy😇 🌊💧water💦💦 in a🅰️ clay jar🍯 🅰️and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into2️⃣ the 🌊💧water💦💦. 18 🅰️After the priest🤵 has had the woman👩 🕴️stand 🐝before4️⃣ the Lord, he shall loosen her 💇hair 🅰️and place in her hands👐 the reminder ➖ offering, the grain🌽 offering for4️⃣ jealousy, while he himself holds💆 the bitter 🌊💧water💦💦 that brings a🅰️ curse💫. 19 Then the priest🤵 shall put the woman👩 under oath and say🗣️ to2️⃣ her, “If 🚫no🚫 other man👨 has had sexual😰🍆💦💦 relations with you 🅰️and you have 🚫not🚫 gone astray 🅰️and 🐝become impure while married🤵👰💍 to2️⃣ your husband🤵, may this bitter 🌊💧water💦💦 that brings 🅰️a curse💫 🚫not🚫 harm you.20 But if you have gone 🅰️astray while married🤵👰💍 to2️⃣ your husband🤵 and you have ⛏️⚒️made🛠️🔨 yourself impure by having sexual😰🍆💦💦 relations with 🅰️a man👨 other than your husband🤵” ➖ 21 here the priest🤵 is to2️⃣ put the woman👩 under this curse💫 ➖ “may the Lord cause you to2️⃣ 🐝become a🅰️ curse💫 among your people👥 when he ⛏️⚒️makes🛠️🔨 your womb🤰 miscarry 🅰️and your 🆎abdomen swell. 22 May this 🌊💧water💦💦 that brings a🅰️ curse💫 enter↩️ your body so that your 🆎abdomen swells 🅾️or your womb🤰 miscarries.”

“‘Then the woman👩 is to2️⃣ say🗣️, “🅰️Amen. So be🐝 it.”

23 “‘The priest🤵 is to2️⃣ write✍️ these curses💫 on🔛 a🅰️ scroll📜 and then wash them👥 off into2️⃣ the bitter 🌊💧water💦💦. 24 He shall ⛏️⚒️make🛠️🔨 the woman👩 🍼🥛🍵🍶🍾🍷☕drink🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂🥃 the bitter 🌊💧water💦💦 that brings a🅰️ curse💫, 🅰️and this 🌊💧water💦💦 that brings a🅰️ curse💫 and causes bitter suffering😥 will enter↩️ her. 25 The priest🤵 is to2️⃣ take from her hands👐 the grain🌽 offering for4️⃣ jealousy, 👋wave🌊 it 🐝before4️⃣ the Lord 🅰️and bring it to2️⃣ the altar🛐. 26 The priest🤵 is then to2️⃣ take a🅰️ 🤚handful of the grain🌽 offering 🅰️as a🅰️ memorial offering 🅰️and 🔥burn🔥 it on🔛 the altar🛐; 🅰️after that, he is to2️⃣ have the woman👩 🍼🥛🍵🍶🍾🍷☕drink🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂🥃 the 🌊💧water💦💦. 27 If she has ⛏️⚒️made🛠️🔨 herself impure 🅰️and 🐝been unfaithful😇🙏 to2️⃣ her husband🤵, this will be🐝 the result: When she is ⛏️⚒️made🛠️🔨 to2️⃣ 🍼🥛🍵🍶🍾🍷☕drink🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂🥃 the 🌊💧water💦💦 that brings a🅰️ curse💫 and causes bitter suffering😥, it will enter↩️ her, her 🆎abdomen will swell 🅰️and her womb🤰 will miscarry, 🅰️and she will 🐝become a🅰️ curse💫. 28 If, however, the woman👩 has 🚫not🚫 ⛏️⚒️made🛠️🔨 herself impure, but🍑 is clean🛀, she will be🐝 cleared of guilt 🅰️and will be🐝 able to2️⃣ have children👶👦👧.
