Leviticus 19:9-15

9“When you harvest the crops of your land, do not harvest the grain along the edges of your fields, and do not pick up what the harvesters drop.

10It is the same with your grape crop—do not strip every last bunch of grapes from the vines, and do not pick up the grapes that fall to the ground. Leave them for the poor and the foreigners living among you. I am the Lord your God.

11“Do not steal. “Do not deceive or cheat one another.

12“Do not bring shame on the name of your God by using it to swear falsely. I am the Lord.

13“Do not defraud or rob your neighbor. “Do not make your hired workers wait until the next day to receive their pay.

14“Do not insult the deaf or cause the blind to stumble. You must fear your God; I am the Lord.

15“Do not twist justice in legal matters by favoring the poor or being partial to the rich and powerful. Always judge people fairly.
