Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner. Remember that you were foreigners in Egypt.
Do not mistreat a foreigner. You know how it feels to be a foreigner. After all you were foreigners in Egypt.
Never mistreat a foreigner living in your land. Foreigners living among you will be like your own people. Love them as you love yourself, because you were foreigners living in Egypt. I am Jehovah your God.
I charged your judges to hear the cases between your countrymen and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger with him.
Love those who are aliens. For you were also aliens in the land of Egypt.
Do not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of your aliens who is in your land in your towns.
Do not pervert the justice due an alien or an orphan. Do not take a widow's garment in pledge.
Cursed is he who withholds justice due an alien, orphan, and widow. The people all say: Amen.
if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your own ruin,
This is what Jehovah says: Judge fairly, and do what is right. Rescue those who have been robbed from those who oppress them. Do not mistreat foreigners, orphans, or widows, and do not oppress them. Do not kill innocent people in this place.
The people of the land have practiced oppression and committed robbery. They have wronged the poor and needy and have oppressed the sojourner without justice.'
I will approach you people for judgment! I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, the adulterers and those acting fraudulently with the wages of the worker, the widow and the fatherless. I will be a speedy witness against those who swear falsely and take advantage of the stranger, and do not show me reverence, said Jehovah of Hosts.
