the priest will then put on her the curse that the oath will bring -- "the Lord will make the people curse and reject you. He will make your stomach get big, and he will make your body unable to give birth to another baby.
22
This water that brings a curse will go inside you and make your body unable to give birth to another baby." "'The woman must say, "I agree."
23
"'The priest should write these curses on a scroll, wash the words off into the bitter water,
24
and make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse. If she is guilty, the water will make her sick.
25
Then the priest will take the grain offering for jealousy from her. He will present it before the Lord and bring it to the altar.
26
He will take a handful of the grain, which is a memorial offering, and burn it on the altar. After that he will make the woman drink the water
27
to see if she is not pure and if she has sinned against her husband. When it goes into her, if her stomach gets big so that she is not able to have another baby, her people will reject her.
28
But if the woman has not sinned, she is pure. She is not guilty, and she will be able to have babies.

"'So this is the teaching about jealousy. This is what to do when a woman does wrong and is unfaithful while she is married to her husband.
30
It also should be done if the man gets jealous because he suspects his wife. The priest will have her stand before the Lord, and he will do all these things, just as the teaching commands.
31
In this way the husband can be proven correct, and the woman will suffer if she has done wrong.'"
