Deuteronomy 25:7-9
Tree of Life Version

And if he stands firm and says, ‘I do not desire to take her,’ 9 then his brother’s widow is to come to him in the sight of the elders, pull his sandal off his foot, spit in his face, and reply, ‘So will it be done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.’
