¹⁰ Do not let the landmark of the widow be moved, and do not go into the fields of those who have no father;

²⁸ Let not the old landmark be moved which your fathers have put in place.

¹⁰ Do not be hard on the widow, or the child without a father, on the man from a strange country, or on the poor; let there be no evil thought in your heart against your brother.

³ This is what the Lord has said: Do what is right, judging uprightly, and make free from the hands of the cruel one him whose goods have been violently taken away: do no wrong and be not violent to the man from a strange country and the child without a father and the widow, and let not those who have done no wrong be put to death in this place.

¹⁴ Your neighbour's landmark, which was put in its place by the men of old times, is not to be moved or taken away in the land of your heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.

²⁷ The religion which is holy and free from evil in the eyes of our God and Father is this: to take care of children who have no fathers and of widows who are in trouble, and to keep oneself untouched by the world.

⁵ And I will come near to you for judging; I will quickly be a witness against the wonder-workers, against those who have been untrue in married life, against those who take false oaths; against those who keep back from the servant his payment, and who are hard on the widow and the child without a father, who do not give his rights to the man from a strange country, and have no fear of me, says the Lord of armies.

⁵ For if your ways and your doings are truly changed for the better; if you truly give right decisions between a man and his neighbour;

⁶ They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;

²¹ If my hand had been lifted up against him who had done no wrong, when I saw that I was supported by the judges;

²² May my arm be pulled from my body, and be broken from its base.

²³ For the fear of God kept me back, and because of his power I might not do such things.

⁹ The child without a father is forced from its mother's breast, and they take the young children of the poor for debt.

² The landmarks are changed by evil men, they violently take away flocks, together with their keepers.

³ They send away the ass of him who has no father, they take the widow's ox for debt.

⁹ You have sent widows away without hearing their cause, and you have taken away the support of the child who has no father.

²⁷ Truly, you are such as would give up the child of a dead man to his creditors, and would make a profit out of your friend.

¹⁷ Cursed is he who takes his neighbour's landmark from its place. And let all the people say, So be it.
