New King James Version

Exodus 22:11-24 New King James Version (NKJV)

11. then an oath of the Lord shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand into his neighbor’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept that, and he shall not make it good.

12. But if, in fact, it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.

13. If it is torn to pieces by a beast, then he shall bring it as evidence, and he shall not make good what was torn.

14. “And if a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it becomes injured or dies, the owner of it not being with it, he shall surely make it good.

15. If its owner was with it, he shall not make it good; if it was hired, it came for its hire.

16. “If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife.

17. If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins.

18. “You shall not permit a sorceress to live.

19. “Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death.

20. “He who sacrifices to any god, except to the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

21. “You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22. “You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

23. If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry;

24. and My wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
