And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. ^15 16 Cursed _be_ he that sets light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. ^16 17 Cursed _be_ he that removes his neighbor's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen. ^17 18 Cursed _be_ he that makes the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen. ^18 19 Cursed _be_ he that perverts the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. ^19 20 Cursed _be_ he that lies with his father's wife; because he uncovers his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen. ^20 21 Cursed _be_ he that lies with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen. ^21 22 Cursed _be_ he that lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. ^22 23 Cursed _be_ he that lies with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen. ^23 24 Cursed _be_ he that smites his neighbor secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen. ^24 25 Cursed _be_ he that takes reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen. ^25 26 Cursed _be_ he that confirms not _all_ the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. ^26
