Thirdly, Fraudulent with-holding of things found, if the Owner may be heard of, Likewise, of things lent, pawned or pledged: ^cThou shalt not see thy brothers Ox nor his Sheep go astray, and conceal thy self from them, but shalt bring them again unto thy Brother. And if thy brother be not near unto thee, or if thou know him not, thou shalt bring it into thine house, and it shall remain with thee until thy brother seek after it. Then shalt thou deliver it to him again. In like manner shalt thou do with his Ass, and so shalt thou do with his raiment, and shalt so do with all lost things of thy brother, which he hath lost: if thou hast found them, thou mayest not conceal thy self. ^dThe wicked (saith DAVID) borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous is merciful and giveth. In ^eEZEKIEL it is made one note of a righteous man, that he hath restored the pledge to his debtor.

And if thy brother be not neere vnto thee, or if thou know him not, thou shalt bring it into thine house, and it shall remaine with thee vntil thy brother seeke after it. Then shalt thou deliuer it to him againe. In like manner shalt thou doe with his Asse, and so shalt thou doe with his rayment, and shalt so doe with all lost things of thy brother, which he hath lost: if thou hast found them, thou maiest not conceale thy selfe. ^dThe wicked (saith DAVID) borroweth, and payeth not againe: but the righteous is mercifull and giueth. In ^eEZECHIEL it is made one note of a righteous man, that he hath restored the pledge to his debtor.
