Exodus 20:17

The Ten Commandments

¹⁶ Thou shalt not testify against thy neighbour, with a witness of falsehood. ¹⁷ Thou shalt not covet, thy neighbours house, - thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour's wife nor his servant nor his handmaid nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which belongeth unto thy neighbour. ¹⁸ And, all the people, were witnessing the voices and the torches, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking, - so then the people were struck with awe and shrank back, and stood afar off.
