Leviticus 19:30-37
New American Standard Bible
30 You shall (A)keep My Sabbaths and (B)revere My sanctuary; I am the Lord.
31 ‘Do not turn to [a](C)mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.
32 ‘(D)You shall stand up in the presence of the grayheaded and honor [b]elders, and you shall [c]fear your God; I am the Lord.
33 ‘(E)When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not [d]do him wrong. 34 The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and (F)you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.
35 ‘(G)You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measurement of weight, or volume. 36 You shall have (H)accurate balances, accurate weights, an accurate [e]ephah, and an accurate [f]hin; I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt. 37 So you shall keep all My statutes and all My ordinances, and do them; I am the Lord.’”
