22
So it is with a woman who leaves her husband and provides an heir by a stranger.
23
For first of all, she has disobeyed the law of the Most High; second, she has committed an offense against her husband; and third, she has committed adultery through harlotry and brought forth children by another man.
24
She herself will be brought before the assembly, and punishment will fall on her children.
25
Her children will not take root, and her branches will not bear fruit.
26
She will leave her memory for a curse, and her disgrace will not be blotted out.
