¹ And these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.

² If thou buy a Hebrew bondman, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

³ If he came in alone, he shall go out alone: if he had a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.

⁴ If his master have given him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone.

⁵ But if the bondman shall say distinctly, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go free;

⁶ then his master shall bring him before the judges, and shall bring him to the door, or to the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall be his bondman for ever.

⁷ And if a man shall sell his daughter as a handmaid, she shall not go out as the bondmen go out.

⁸ If she is unacceptable in the eyes of her master, who had taken her for himself, then shall he let her be ransomed: to sell her unto a foreign people he hath no power, after having dealt unfaithfully with her.

⁹ And if he have appointed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the law of daughters.

¹⁰ If he take himself another, her food, her clothing, and her conjugal rights he shall not diminish.

¹¹ And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

¹² He that striketh a man, so that he die, shall certainly be put to death.

¹³ But if he have not lain in wait, and God have delivered [him] into his hand, I will appoint thee a place to which he shall flee.

¹⁴ But if a man act wantonly toward his neighbour, and slay him with guile, thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

¹⁵ And he that striketh his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.

¹⁶ And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall certainly be put to death.

¹⁷ And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall certainly be put to death.

¹⁸ And if men dispute, and one strike the other with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but take to [his] bed,

¹⁹ -- if he rise, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that struck [him] be guiltless; only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.

²⁰ And if a man strike his bondman or his handmaid with a staff, and he die under his hand, he shall certainly be avenged.

²¹ Only, if he continue [to live] a day or two days, he shall not be avenged; for he is his money.

²² And if men strive together, and strike a woman with child, so that she be delivered, and no mischief happen, he shall in any case be fined, according as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and shall give it as the judges estimate.

²³ But if mischief happen, then thou shalt give life for life,

²⁴ eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

²⁵ branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

²⁶ And if a man strike the eye of his bondman or the eye of his handmaid, and it be marred, he shall let him go for his eye.

²⁷ And if he knock out his bondman's tooth or his handmaid's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth.

²⁸ And if an ox gore a man or a woman, so that they die, then the ox shall certainly be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be guiltless.

²⁹ But if the ox have gored heretofore, and it have been testified to its owner, and he have not kept it in, and it kill a man or a woman, -- the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.

³⁰ If there be imposed on him a satisfaction, then he shall give the ransom of his life, according to what is imposed on him.

³¹ Whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done to him.

³² If the ox gore a bondman or a handmaid, he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

³³ -- And if a man open a pit, or if a man dig a pit, and do not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall into it,

³⁴ the owner of the pit shall make it good, shall give money to the owner of them; and the dead [ox] shall be his.

³⁵ -- And if one man's ox gore his neighbour's ox, and it die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money thereof, and divide the dead also.

³⁶ Or if it be known that the ox have gored heretofore, and its owner have not kept him in, he shall in any case restore ox for ox; and the dead shall be his.

¹ The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him.

² He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.

³ Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

⁴ They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don't have God's seal on their foreheads.

⁵ They were given power not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a person.

⁶ In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

⁷ The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people's faces.

⁸ They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.

⁹ They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.

¹⁰ They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.

¹¹ They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon," but in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon."

¹² The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.

¹³ The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,

¹⁴ saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!"

¹⁵ The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.

¹⁶ The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.

¹⁷ Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.

¹⁸ By these three plagues were one third of mankind killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.

¹⁹ For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they harm.

²⁰ The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn't repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn't worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.

²¹ They didn't repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
