Exodus 22:15-27

1. 15 But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.

2. 16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

3. 17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

4. 18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

5. 19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.

6. 20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

7. 21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

8. 22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

9. 23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

10. 24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

11. 25 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

12. 26 If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:

13. 27 For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
