And they said, There was no harlot in this place. 22And he returned to Iudah, and said, I cannot finde her: and also the men of the place said, That there was no harlot in this place. 23And Iudah said, Let her take it to her, lest we bee shamed: behold, I sent this kidde, and thou hast not found her.
