Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.

Do not afflict your countrymen, but let every one fear his God: because I am the Lord your God.

And do no wrong, one to another, but let the fear of your God be before you; for I am the Lord your God.

Do not be willing to afflict your countrymen, but let each one fear his God. For I am the Lord your God.
