Verse 14. I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery.
This is as severe an expression as any we have in the Scripture, They shall commit whoredom and adultery, yet I will not punish them. It is strange, God hath threatened whoredom and adultery with death, and threatened the Priests daughters that committed fornication, with fire; and this is spoken here of the Priests especially; but here saith he, I will punish none of them when they commit whoredom or adultery.

These words are read by some interrogatively, Will I not punish §1them? and then they carry another sense. But I think that is not the scope.
