“Stolen waters are sweet, and food eaten in secret is tasty.”
The woman saw that the tree had fruit that was good to eat, nice to look at, and desirable for making someone wise. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
Food gained dishonestly tastes sweet to a person, but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel.
This is the way of a woman who commits adultery: She eats, wipes her mouth, and says, “I haven’t done anything wrong!”
Why should water flow out of your spring? Why should your streams flow into the streets?
Let your own fountain be blessed, and enjoy the girl you married when you were young,
But sin took the opportunity provided by this commandment and made me have all kinds of wrong desires. Clearly, without laws sin is dead.
It is shameful to talk about what some people do in secret.
