I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for 'the men' themselves go apart with harlots, and they sacrifice with the prostitutes; and the people that doth not understand shall be overthrown.
Y schal not visite on youre douytris, whanne þei don fornicacioun, and on youre wyues, whanne þei doon auowtrie; for þei lyuyden with hooris, and maden sacrifice with men turned in to wymmens condiciouns. And þe puple þat vndirstondith not, schal be betun.
