New Testament

Exodus 22:16-28 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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.

26. If you ever take your neighbor's garment in pledge, you shall give it back to him before the sun goes down;

27. For that is his only covering, his clothing for his body. In what shall he sleep? When he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am gracious and merciful.

28. You shall not revile God [the judges as His agents] or esteem lightly or curse a ruler of your people.
