Leviticus 19:30-37
English Standard Version
30 (A)You shall keep my Sabbaths and (B)reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
31 (C)“Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.
32 (D)“You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall (E)fear your God: I am the Lord.
33 (F)“When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 34 (G)You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and (H)you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 (I)“You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measures of length or weight or quantity. 36 (J)You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin:[a] I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. 37 And (K)you shall observe all my statutes and all my rules, and do them: I am the Lord.”

Common English Bible
30 You must keep my sabbaths and treat my sanctuary with respect; I am the Lord. 31 Do not resort to dead spirits or inquire of spirits of divination—you will be made unclean by them; I am the Lord your God. 32 You must rise in the presence of an old person and respect the elderly. You must fear your God; I am the Lord.
33 When immigrants live in your land with you, you must not cheat them. 34 Any immigrant who lives with you must be treated as if they were one of your citizens. You must love them as yourself, because you were immigrants in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God. 35 You must not act unjustly in a legal case involving measures of length, weight, or volume. 36 You must have accurate scales and accurate weights, an accurate ephah[a] and an accurate hin.[b] I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. 37 You must keep all my rules and all my regulations, and do them; I am the Lord.
