And you shall altogether keep from the devoted things, that you not be accursed when you take of the devoted things, and make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.

and said to him, Behold, you have become old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint us a king to judge us like all the nations.

Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your seed always. And he went out from his presence leprous as snow.

Woe to those who join house to house, laying field to field, until there is no more space for you to dwell alone in the midst of the earth!

Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of a homer shall yield an ephah.

The partridge sets on eggs and does not hatch them; in the same way he who gets riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the middle of his days, and at his end he shall be a fool.

Woe to him who robs unjust gain for his house, to set his nest on high, to be delivered from the hand of evil.

For the stone shall cry out from the wall, and the beam shall answer it from the timbers.

A ruler lacking understanding is abundant in extortions; he who hates unjust gain shall prolong his days.

You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

He who walks righteously and speaks with equity; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands free from holding bribes, who stops his ear from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil;

he shall dwell on high; his refuge shall be the strongholds of rocks; bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
