⁹^*“When you harvest your fields, do not cut the corn at the edges of the fields, and do not go back to cut the ears of corn that were left. ¹⁰^*Do not go back through your vineyard to gather the grapes that were missed or to pick up the grapes that have fallen; leave them for poor people and foreigners. I am the Lord your God.

¹¹^*“Do not steal or cheat or lie. ¹²^*Do not make a promise in my name if you do not intend to keep it; that brings disgrace on my name. I am the Lord your God.

¹³^*“Do not take advantage of anyone or rob him. Do not hold back the wages of someone you have hired, not even for one night. ¹⁴^*Do not curse a deaf man or put something in front of a blind man so as to make him stumble over it. Obey me; I am the Lord your God.

¹⁵^*“Be honest and just when you make decisions in legal cases; do not show favouritism to the poor or fear the rich. ¹⁶Do not spread lies about anyone, and when someone is on trial for his life, speak out if your testimony can help him. I am the Lord.

¹⁷^*“Do not bear a grudge against anyone, but settle your differences with him, so that you will not commit a sin because of him.ⁱ ¹⁸^*Do not take revenge on anyone or continue to hate him, but love your neighbour as you love yourself. I am the Lord.
