He shall serve with you until the year of the jubilee. 41 ^dThen he shall go out from you, ^ehe and his children with him, and go back to his own clan and return ^fto the possession of his fathers. 42 For they are ^gmy servants, ^{▼▼Hebrew slaves} whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. 43 ⁱYou shall not rule over him ^jruthlessly but ^kshall fear your God. 44 As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. 45 ^lYou may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property. 46 You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel ^myou shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly.

Job 24:10-12

10 They go about naked, without clothing;
hungry, they ^accarry the sheaves;
11 among the olive rows of the wicked ^{▼▼Hebrew their olive rows} they make oil;
they tread the winepresses, but suffer thirst.
12 From out of the city the dying groan,
and the soul of ^aethe wounded cries for help;
yet God charges no one with ^afwrong.
