Leviticus 19:12 in Context — Leviticus 19

10 Tu ne cueilleras pas non plus les grappes restées dans ta vigne, et tu ne ramasseras pas les grains qui en seront tombés. Tu abandonneras cela au pauvre et à l’étranger. Je suis l’Éternel, votre Dieu.

11 Vous ne déroberez point, et vous n’userez ni de mensonge ni de tromperie les uns envers les autres.

12 Vous ne jurerez point faussement par mon nom, car tu profanerais le nom de ton Dieu. Je suis l’Éternel.

13 Tu n’opprimeras point ton prochain, et tu ne raviras rien par violence. Tu ne retiendras point jusqu’au lendemain le salaire du mercenaire.

14 Tu ne maudiras point un sourd, et tu ne mettras devant un aveugle rien qui puisse le faire tomber; car tu auras la crainte de ton Dieu. Je suis l’Éternel.
