When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away: and the woman will be a curse among her people.

And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

And he shall make her drink the water. And it will happen, if she was made unclean and was unfaithful unfaithfulness against her husband, then the water that brings a curse to bitterness will go in her, and her belly will swell and her thigh will fall, and the woman will become a curse in the midst of her people.
