  1. 10then let my wife grind for another,
    and let others sleep with her.
  2. 11For that would be a heinous crime.

    and would root out all my increase.
  4. 13“If I have despised the cause of my male servant
    or of my female servant,
    when they contended with me,
  5. 14what then will I do when God rises up?
    When he visits, what will I answer him?
