Leviticus 19:10-24 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

10. Likewise, you shall not pick your vineyard bare, nor gather up the grapes that have fallen. These things you shall leave for the poor and the alien. I, the Lord, am your God.

11. You shall not steal. You shall not deceive or speak falsely to one another.

12. You shall not swear falsely by my name, thus profaning the name of your God. I am the Lord.

13. You shall not exploit your neighbor. You shall not commit robbery. You shall not withhold overnight the wages of your laborer.

14. You shall not insult the deaf, or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the Lord.

15. You shall not act dishonestly in rendering judgment. Show neither partiality to the weak nor deference to the mighty, but judge your neighbor justly.

16. You shall not go about spreading slander among your people; nor shall you stand by idly when your neighbor’s life is at stake. I am the Lord.

17. You shall not hate any of your kindred in your heart. Reprove your neighbor openly so that you do not incur sin because of that person.

18. Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against your own people. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

19. Keep my statutes: do not breed any of your domestic animals with others of a different species; do not sow a field of yours with two different kinds of seed; and do not put on a garment woven with two different kinds of thread.

20. If a man has sexual relations with a female slave who has been acquired by another man but has not yet been redeemed or given her freedom, an investigation shall be made. They shall not be put to death, because she has not been freed.

21. The man shall bring to the entrance of the tent of meeting as his reparation to the Lord a ram as a reparation offering.

22. With the ram of the reparation offering the priest shall make atonement before the Lord for the wrong the man has committed, so that he will be forgiven for the wrong he has committed.

23. When you come into the land and plant any fruit tree there, first look upon its fruit as if it were uncircumcised. For three years, it shall be uncircumcised for you; it may not be eaten.

24. In the fourth year, however, all of its fruit shall be dedicated to the Lord in joyous celebration.
