13 (A)‘You shall not cheat your neighbor, nor rob him. (B)The wages of him who is hired shall not remain with you all night until morning. 14 You shall not curse the deaf, (C)nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God: I am the Lord.

15 ‘You shall do no injustice in (D)judgment. You shall not (E)be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor. 16 You shall not go about as a (F)talebearer among your people; nor shall you (G)take a stand against the life of your neighbor: I am the Lord.

17 (H)‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. (I)You shall surely [a]rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him. 18 (J)You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, (K)but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
