,

If

thou

wilt

not

commit

adultery

,

I

will

kill

my

husband

,

so

will

I

lawfully

take

thee

to

be

my

husband

.

I

therefore

,

when

I

heard

this

,

rent

my

garment

,

and

said

,

Woman

,

reverence

the

Lord

,

and

do

not

this

evil

deed

,

lest

thou

be

utterly

destroyed

;

for

I

will

declare

thy

ungodly

thought

unto

all

men

.

She

therefore

,

being

afraid

,

besought

that

I

would

declare

to

no

one

her

wickedness

.

And

she

departed

,

soothing

me

with

gifts

,

and

sending

to

me

every

delight

of

the

sons

of

men
