Leviticus 19:25-35

25 And in the fifth year ye shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God.
26 Eat not on the mountains, nor shall ye employ auguries, nor divine by inspection of birds.
27 Ye shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard.
28 And ye shall not make cuttings in your body for a body, and ye shall not inscribe on yourselves any marks. I am the Lord your God.
29 Thou shalt not profane thy daughter to prostitute her; so the land shall not go a whoring, and the land be filled with iniquity.
30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.
31 Ye shall not attend to those who have in them divining spirits, nor attach yourselves to enchanters, to pollute yourselves with them: I am the Lord your God.
32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord your God.
33 And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, ye shall not afflict him.
34 The stranger that comes to you shall be among you as the native, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 Ye shall not act unrighteously in judgment, in measures and weights and scales.
