Deuteronomy 5:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.
21 (A)Neither shalt [a]thou covet thy neighbor’s wife, neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor’s house, his field, nor his manservant, nor his maid, his ox, nor his ass, nor ought that thy neighbor hath.
22 ¶ These words the Lord spake unto all your multitude in the mount of the midst of the fire, the cloud and the darkness, with a great voice, and [b]added no more thereto: and wrote them upon two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
