Numbers 5

²⁷ When he has made her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that brings a curse will enter her and cause bitter suffering; her belly will swell, her thigh will shrivel, and she will become accursed among her people.

²⁸ But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will be unaffected and able to conceive children.

²⁹ This is the law of jealousy when a wife goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,

³⁰ or when a feeling of jealousy comes over a husband and he suspects his wife. He is to have the woman stand before the LORD, and the priest is to apply to her this entire law.

³¹ The husband will be free from guilt, but the woman shall bear her iniquity.”
