Leviticus 19:14

You shall not curse a deaf person to his face.
You shall not put anything in the way of a blind person so that he falls.
You shall fear (revere) your God (Elohim).
I am the Lord (Yahweh).
[This section has five prohibitions. The first two are a pair about not deceiving/robbing, and the last two are a pair about the deaf/blind. Central to this is the phrase about withholding a worker's wages. On either side of this phrase, two aspects are highlighted: the first is the exploitation of not paying wages, and the second is the helplessness of the victim who is exposed. The structure of this section means that not only are five laws listed, but the arrangement encourages the reader to examine the connection—not just the letter of the law, but the spirit of the teaching. In comparison with verses 11–12, "bearing false witness" was mentioned. There, it was about someone who was the victim of theft/lies and was able to take the matter to court. Here in verses 13–14, it is about the weak and vulnerable who do not have that opportunity.]
