11 When she brought them to him to eat, he (A)took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.” 12 But she answered him, “No, my brother, do not violate me, for (B)such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this (C)disgraceful thing! 13 As for me, where could I (a)get rid of my reproach? And as for you, you will be like one of the (b)fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king, for (D)he will not withhold me from you.” 14 However, he would not listen to (c)her; since he was stronger than she, he (E)violated her and lay with her.
