Jonah 3

1 And they perverted their own mind, and turned away their eyes, that they might not look unto heaven, nor remember just judgments. 2 So they were both wounded with the love of her, yet they did not make known their grief one to the other. 3 For they were ashamed to declare to one another their lust, being desirous to have to do with her: 4 And they watched carefully every day to see her. And one said to the other: 5 Let us now go home, for it is dinner time. So going out, they departed one from another. 6 And turning back again, they came both to the same place: and asking one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust: and then they agreed together upon a time, when they might find her alone. 7 And it fell out, as they watched a fit day, she went in on a time, as yesterday and the day before, with two maids only, and was desirous to wash herself in the orchard: for it was hot weather. 8 And there was nobody there, but the two old men that had hid themselves, and were beholding her. 9 So she said to the maids: Bring me oil, and washing balls, and shut the doors of the orchard, that I may wash me. 10 And they did as she bade them: and they shut the doors of the orchard, and went out by a back door to fetch what she had commanded them, and they knew not that the elders were hid within.
