Exodus 22:14-29 English Revised Version (ERV)

14. And if a man borrow aught of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

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

16. And if a man entice a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

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

18. Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live.

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

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

21. And a stranger shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

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

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

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.

25. If thou lend money to any of my people with thee that is poor, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him usury.

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

27. for that is his only covering, it is his garment 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.

28. Thou shalt not revile God, nor curse a ruler of thy people.

29. Thou shalt not delay to offer of the abundance of thy fruits, and of thy liquors. The firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
