⁷ And it cometh to pass after these things, that his lord's wife lifteth up her eyes unto Joseph, and saith, `Lie with me;'

¹¹ and she bringeth nigh unto him to eat, and he layeth hold on her, and saith to her, `Come, lie with me, my sister.'

¹⁶ because all that `is' in the world -- the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life -- is not of the Father, but of the world,

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having an heart exercised in covetousnesses, children of a curse,

²⁸ but I -- I say to you, that every one who is looking on a woman to desire her, did already commit adultery with her in his heart.

¹² On sons of Asshur she hath doted, Governors and prefects, Neighbouring ones -- clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, Desirable young men all of them.

¹³ And I see that she hath been defiled, One way `is' to them both.

¹⁴ And she doth add unto her whoredoms, And she seeth graved men on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, graved with red lead,

¹⁵ Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers -- all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.

¹⁶ And she doteth on them at the sight of her eyes, And sendeth messengers to them, to Chaldea.

⁵ And go a-whoring doth Aholah under Me, And she doteth on her lovers, On the neighbouring Assyrians,

⁶ Clothed with blue -- governors and prefects, Desirable young men all of them, Horsemen, riding on horses,

³⁴ And the contrary is in thee from women in thy whoredoms, That after thee none doth go a-whoring; And in thy giving a gift, And a gift hath not been given to thee; And thou art become contrary.

³² The wife who committeth adultery -- Under her husband -- doth receive strangers.

²⁵ At every head of the way thou hast built thy high place, And thou dost make thy beauty abominable, And dost open wide thy feet to every passer by, And dost multiply thy whoredoms,

³ And withheld are showers, and gathered rain hath not been. The forehead of a whorish woman thou hast, Thou hast refused to be ashamed.

¹⁵ Therefore I have come forth to meet thee, To seek earnestly thy face, and I find thee.

¹⁶ `With' ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works -- cotton of Egypt.

¹⁷ I sprinkled my bed -- myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

¹⁸ Come, we are filled `with' loves till the morning, We delight ourselves in loves.

¹³ And she laid hold on him, and kissed him, She hath hardened her face, and saith to him,

⁹ Lest thou give to others thy honour, And thy years to the fierce,

¹⁶ To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings,

³⁷ Remove mine eyes from seeing vanity, In Thy way quicken Thou me.

¹ A covenant I made for mine eyes, And what -- do I attend to a virgin?

² and sons of God see the daughters of men that they `are' fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.
