New Testament

Exodus 22:12-25 Amplified Bible (AMP)

12. But if it is stolen when in his care, he shall make restitution to its owner.

13. If it be torn in pieces [by some wild beast or by accident], let him bring [the mangled carcass] for witness; he shall not make good what was torn.

14. And if a man borrows anything of his neighbor and it gets hurt or dies without its owner being with it, the borrower shall make full restitution.

15. But if the owner is with it [when the damage is done], the borrower shall not make it good. If it is a hired thing, the damage is included in its hire.

16. If a man seduces a virgin not betrothed and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to become his wife.

17. If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equivalent to the dowry of virgins.

18. You shall not allow a woman to live who practices sorcery.

19. Whoever lies carnally with a beast shall surely be put to death.

20. He who sacrifices to any god but the Lord only shall be utterly destroyed.

21. You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22. You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

23. If you afflict them in any way and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry;

24. And My wrath shall burn; I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children fatherless.

25. If you lend money to any of My people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor, neither shall you require interest from him.
