²⁶ `And when a man smiteth the eye of his man-servant, or the eye of his handmaid, and hath destroyed it, as a freeman he doth send him away for his eye;

²⁰ `And when a man smiteth his man-servant or his handmaid, with a rod, and he hath died under his hand -- he is certainly avenged;

⁹ And the masters! the same things do ye unto them, letting threatening alone, having known that also your Master is in the heavens, and acceptance of persons is not with him.

²² Rob not the poor because he `is' poor, And bruise not the afflicted in the gate.

²³ For Jehovah pleadeth their cause, And hath spoiled the soul of their spoilers.

¹² For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,

¹³ He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,

¹⁴ From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes.

¹⁸ To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress -- man of the earth!

¹⁴ Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave `it', Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.

¹² For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

¹³ If I despise the cause of my man-servant, And of my handmaid, In their contending with me,

¹⁴ Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth inspect, What do I answer Him?

¹⁵ Did not He that made me in the womb make him? Yea, prepare us in the womb doth One.

⁵ and now, as the flesh of our brethren `is' our flesh, as their sons `are' our sons, and lo, we are subduing our sons and our daughters for servants, and there are of our daughters subdued, and our hand hath no might, and our fields and our vineyards `are' to others.'

¹⁹ Thou dost not turn aside judgment; thou dost not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

¹ The masters! that which is righteous and equal to the servants give ye, having known that ye also have a Master in the heavens.
