11. And I knew that the race of Canaan was wicked, but the thoughts of youth blinded my heart. And when I saw her pouring out wine, in the drunkenness of wine was I deceived, and I fell before her.

And when I knew what she had done, I cursed her in the anguish of my soul, and she also died in the wickedness of her sons.
