²⁶ And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, and destroy it; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

²⁰ And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall surely be punished.

⁹ And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, and forbear threatening: knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.

²² Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

²³ For Jehovah will plead their cause, And despoil of life those that despoil them.

¹² For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper.

¹³ He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save.

¹⁴ He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:

¹⁸ To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more. Psalm 11 For the Chief Musician. `A Psalm' of David.

¹⁴ Thou hast seen `it'; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth `himself' unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

¹² For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

¹³ If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, When they contended with me;

¹⁴ What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

¹⁵ Did not he that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?

⁵ Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage `already': neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards.

¹⁹ Thou shalt not wrest justice: thou shalt not respect persons; neither shalt thou take a bribe; for a bribe doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

¹ Masters, render unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
