10 And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God.

11 ^a‘You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, ^bnor lie to one another.

12 And you shall not ^aswear by My name falsely, ^bnor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.

13 ^a‘You shall not cheat your neighbor, nor rob him. ^bThe wages of him who is hired shall not remain with you all night until morning.

14 You shall not curse the deaf, ^anor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God: I am the Lord.

15 ‘You shall do no injustice in ^ajudgment. You shall not ^bbe partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.

Leviticus 19:11-16

Ye shall not steal—A variety of social duties are inculcated in this passage, chiefly in reference to common and little-thought-of vices to which mankind are exceedingly prone; such as committing petty frauds, or not scrupling to violate truth in transactions of business, ridiculing bodily infirmities, or circulating stories to the prejudice of others. In opposition to these bad habits, a spirit of humanity and brotherly kindness is strongly enforced.
