Deuteronomy 25

25:1 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
25:2 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number.
25:3 Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
25:4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the grain.
25:5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married without unto a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto her.
25:6 And it shall be, that the first-born that she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother that is dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel.
25:7 And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto me.
25:8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand, and say, I like not to take her;
25:9 then shall his brother’s wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that doth not build up his brother’s house.
25:10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
25:11 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets;
25:12 then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall have no pity.
25:13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag diverse weights, a great and a small.
25:14 Thou shalt not have in thy house diverse measures, a great and a small.
25:15 A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
25:16 For all that do such things, even all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God.
25:17 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt;
25:18 how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.
25:19 Therefore it shall be, when Jehovah thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget.

Psalm 109:16-31

109:16 Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay them.
109:17 Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.
109:18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.
109:19 Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
109:20 This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.
109:21 But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name’s sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;
109:22 For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.
109:23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
109:24 My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness.
109:25 I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head.
109:26 Help me, O Jehovah my God; Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness:
109:27 That they may know that this is thy hand; That thou, Jehovah, hast done it.
109:28 Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.
109:29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
109:30 I will give great thanks unto Jehovah with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
109:31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from them that judge his soul.

Luke 10:1-16

10:1 Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself was about to come.
10:2 And he said unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.
10:3 Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.
10:4 Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes; and salute no man on the way.
10:5 And into whatsoever house ye shall enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
10:6 And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall turn to you again.
10:7 And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
10:8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
10:9 and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10:10 But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and say,
10:11 Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we wipe off against you: nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.
10:12 I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
10:13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
10:14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you.
10:15 And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt be brought down unto Hades.
10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me.
