Exodus 20:3-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 Do not have other gods besides Me.(A)
4 Do not make an idol(B) for yourself, whether in the shape of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth. 5 You must not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,(C) punishing the children for the fathers’ sin, to the third and fourth generations(D) of those who hate Me, 6 but showing faithful love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commands.(E)
7 Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God, because the Lord will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses His name.(F)
8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy:(G) 9 You are to labor six days and do all your work,(H) 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You must not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the foreigner who is within your gates.(I) 11 For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then He rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy.
12 Honor your father and your mother(J) so that you may have a long life in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
13 Do not murder.(K)
14 Do not commit adultery.(L)
15 Do not steal.(M)
16 Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.(N)
17 Do not covet your neighbor’s house. Do not covet your neighbor’s wife, his male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.(O)

Deuteronomy 5:7-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 Do not have other gods besides Me.
8 Do not make an idol for yourself in the shape of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth. 9 You must not bow down to them or worship them, because I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the fathers’ sin to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,(A) 10 but showing faithful love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commands.
11 Do not misuse the name(B) of the Lord your God, because the Lord will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses His name.
12 Be careful to remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy as the Lord your God has commanded you. 13 You are to labor six days and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You must not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, your ox or donkey, any of your livestock, or the foreigner who lives within your gates, so that your male and female slaves may rest as you do. 15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out of there with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. That is why the Lord your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 Honor your father and your mother,(C) as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and so that you may prosper in the land the Lord your God is giving you.(D)
17 Do not murder.(E)
18 Do not commit adultery.(F)
19 Do not steal.
20 Do not give dishonest testimony against your neighbor.(G)
21 Do not covet your neighbor’s wife or desire your neighbor’s house, his field, his male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.(H)
Ezekiel 18:5-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 “Now suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right: 6 He does not eat at the mountain shrines(A) or raise his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife(B) or come near a woman during her menstrual impurity.(C) 7 He doesn’t oppress anyone(D) but returns his collateral to the debtor.(E) He does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry(F) and covers the naked with clothing. 8 He doesn’t lend at interest or for profit(G) but keeps his hand from wrongdoing and carries out true justice between men.(H) 9 He follows My statutes and keeps My ordinances, acting faithfully. Such a person is righteous; he will certainly live.”(I) This is the declaration of the Lord God.

Ezekiel 18:14-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
14 “Now suppose he has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed, and though he sees them, he does not do likewise. 15 He does not eat at the mountain shrines or raise his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife. 16 He doesn’t oppress anyone, hold collateral, or commit robbery. He gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing. 17 He keeps his hand from harming the poor, not taking interest or profit on a loan. He practices My ordinances and follows My statutes. Such a person will not die for his father’s iniquity. He will certainly live.
18 “As for his father, he will die for his own iniquity because he practiced fraud, robbed his brother, and did what was wrong among his people.(A)

6 “Look, every prince of Israel(A) within you has used his strength to shed blood. 7 Father and mother are treated with contempt,(B) and the foreign resident is exploited within you. The fatherless and widow are oppressed in you.(C) 8 You despise My holy things and profane My Sabbaths.(D) 9 There are men within you who slander in order to shed blood.(E) People who live in you eat at the mountain shrines; they commit immoral acts within you. 10 Men within you have sexual intercourse with their father’s wife and violate women during their menstrual impurity.(F) 11 One man within you commits a detestable act with his neighbor’s wife;(G) another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another violates his sister, his father’s daughter.(H) 12 People who live in you accept bribes in order to shed blood.(I) You take interest and profit on a loan and brutally extort your neighbors.(J) You have forgotten Me.”(K) This is the declaration of the Lord God.
