1 You shall not raise a false report: put not your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.2 You shall not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shall you speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:3 Neither shall you countenance a poor man in his cause.4 If you meet your enemy' ox or his ass going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.5 If you see the ass of him that hates you lying under his burden, and would forbear to help him, you shall surely help with him.6 You shall not wrest the judgment of your poor in his cause.7 Keep you far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay you not: for I will not justify the wicked.8 And you shall take no gift: for the gift blinds the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.9 Also you shall not oppress a stranger: for you know the heart of a stranger, seeing you were strangers in the land of Egypt.10 And six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in the fruits thereof:11 But the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie still; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard, and with your olive grove.12 Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest: that your ox and your ass may rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.13 And in all things that I have said to you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of your mouth.14 Three times you shall keep a feast to me in the year.15 You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it you came out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field.17 Three items in the year all your males shall appear before the LORD God.18 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.19 The first of the first fruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother' milk.20 Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.22 But if you shall indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.23 For my Angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but you shall utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.25 And you shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless your bread, and your water; and I will take sickness away from the middle of you.26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in your land: the number of your days I will fulfill.27 I will send my fear before you, and will destroy all the people to whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.28 And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against you.30 By little and little I will drive them out from before you, until you be increased, and inherit the land.31 And I will set your bounds from the Red sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and you shall drive them out before you.32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me: for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.

1 THE burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones, for mine anger is not upon them that rejoice in my highness.4 The noise of the multitude in the mountains like as of a great people, a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together, the Lord of Hosts mustereth the hosts of the battle.5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, yea, the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.6 Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, every man's heart shall melt;8 And they shall be afraid; pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.11 And I will punish the world for evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay down the haughtiness of the terrible.12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.13 Therefore, I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of Hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up; and they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.15 Every one that is proud shall be thrust through; yea, and every one that is joined to the wicked shall fall by the sword.16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled and their wives ravished.17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver and gold, nor shall they delight in it.18 Their bows shall also dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces; and her time is near to come, and her day shall not be prolonged. For I will destroy her speedily; yea, for I will be merciful unto my people, but the wicked shall perish.
