Various Laws

(A)Now when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10 And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger. I am the Lord your God.

11 (B)You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, (C)nor lie to one another. 12 And (D)you shall not swear falsely by My name, so as to (E)profane the name of your God; I am the Lord.

13 (F)You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. (G)The wages of a hired worker are not to remain with you all night until morning. 14 You shall not curse a person who is deaf, nor (H)put a stumbling block before a person who is blind, but you shall revere your God; I am the Lord.

15 (I)You shall not do injustice in judgment; you shall not show partiality to the poor nor give preference to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly. 16 You shall not go about as (J)a slanderer among your people; and you are not to [a]jeopardize the [b](K)life of your neighbor. I am the Lord.

17 ‘You (L)shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you (M)may certainly rebuke your neighbor, but you are not to incur sin because of him. 18 (N)You shall not take vengeance, (O)nor hold any grudge against the sons of your people, but (P)you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.
