If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
24 Palung ka phui moe, nangcae sumsen hoiah kang hum o han; na zunawk to lamhmai ah om o ueloe, na caanawk doeh ampa tawn ai ah om o tih.
and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

If thou at all take thy neighbour’s garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by that the sun goeth down:

for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
28 sithawnawk to kasae thui hmah loe, nangmacae kami ukkung doeh tangoeng hmah.
Thou shalt not revile God, nor curse a ruler of thy people.

Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, [and] with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

And ye shall be holy men unto me: therefore ye shall not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
