⁷ Then the Lord said, ^(A)“I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their ^(B)taskmasters. I know their sufferings, ⁸ and ^(C)I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and ^(D)to bring them up out of that land to a ^(E)good and broad land, a land ^(F)flowing with milk and honey, to the place of ^(G)the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

^16 (A)“Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found ^(B)in possession of him, shall be put to death.

⁴ Behold, ^(A)the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and ^(B)the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of ^(C)the Lord of hosts. ^5 (D)You have lived on the earth in luxury and ^(E)in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in ^(F)a day of slaughter. ⁶ You have condemned and ^(G)murdered ^(H)the righteous person. He does not resist you.
