15 Não farás injustiça no juízo: não favorecerás deslealmente ao pobre, nem honrarás a face do poderoso: com justiça julgarás a teu próximo.

16 Não andarás propagando boatos em teus povos. Não te porás contra o sangue de teu próximo: Eu sou o SENHOR.

17 Não aborrecerás a teu irmão em teu coração: francamente repreenderás a teu próximo, e não consentirás sobre ele pecado.

18 Não te vingarás, nem guardarás rancor aos filhos de teu povo: mas amarás a teu próximo como a ti mesmo: Eu sou o SENHOR.
