2756. There are some who have held to the idea of wife-sharing. In the next life these speak as though they were good, but they are harmful and deceitful. Their punishment is dreadful. They are bundled together so to speak, and, by the use of that which is a representative, a serpent is stretched around them, which ties them up seemingly into a tight ball, and in this condition they are cast out.
