EX. XXII, 9. For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbor. 10. If a man deliver unto his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it: 11. Then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good. 12. And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof. 13. If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn. 14. And if a man borrow aught of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good. 15. But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be a hired thing, it came for his hire. 7. RESTITUTION TO BE MADE TO THE INJURED. LEV. VI, 5. Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass-offering. 1 SAM. XII, 3. Behold, here I am: witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you. LUKE XIX, 8. I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? PSALM XXXVII, 21. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. GEN. XLIII, 12. And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight. GEN. XLIV, 8. Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold? 8. THREATENINGS AGAINST OPPRESSORS. JER. XVII, 11. As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. PROV. XX, 21. An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed. PROV. XII, 16. A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. PROV. XXII, 22. Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: 23. For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them. PROV. XXVIII, 3. A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
