11 As she brought them to him to eat, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come on! Get in bed with me,[a] my sister!”
12 But she said to him, “No, my brother! Don’t humiliate me! This just isn’t done in Israel! Don’t do this foolish thing! 13 How could I ever be rid of my humiliation? And you would be considered one of the fools[b] in Israel! Just[c] speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.”
