10
Both were overwhelmed with passion for her, but they did not tell each other of their distress,
11
for they were ashamed to disclose their lustful desire to possess her.
12
And they watched eagerly, day after day, to see her.
13
They said to each other, "Let us go home, for it is mealtime."
14
And when they went out, they parted from each other. But turning back, they met again; and when each pressed the other for the reason, they confessed their lust. And then together they arranged for a time when they could find her alone.
