3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery, and, placing her in the midst, 4 said to Him: Teacher! This woman was caught in adultery; 5 and Moses in the law commanded us to stone such women: What do You say? 6 They said this to test Him, so that they might find something with which to accuse Him. But Jesus, bending down, wrote with His finger on the ground, paying no attention to them. 7 When they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them: Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her. 8 And again, bending down, He wrote on the ground. 9 When they heard this and were convicted by their conscience, they began to leave one by one, beginning with the elders and continuing to the last; and Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing in the midst. 10 Jesus raised Himself up and, seeing no one but the woman, said to her: Woman! Where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you? 11 She answered: No one, Lord. Jesus said to her: Neither do I condemn you; go, and sin no more.]]

May her breasts satisfy you always; may you ever be intoxicated with her love. 20 Why, then, my son, be intoxicated with a forbidden woman and embrace the breasts of an adulteress?
