Job 31:9

⁷ If my steps have turned from the path, if my heart has followed my eyes, or if impurity has stuck to my hands,

⁸ then may another eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted.

If my heart has been enticed by my neighbor’s wife, or I have lurked at his door,

¹⁰ then may my own wife grind grain for another, and may other men sleep with her.

¹¹ For that would be a heinous crime, an iniquity to be judged.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
