Leviticus 19:14

12 You must not swear falsely by My name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

13 You must not defraud your neighbor or rob him. You must not withhold until morning the wages due a hired hand.

You must not curse the deaf or place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.

15 You must not pervert justice; you must not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the rich; you are to judge your neighbor fairly.

16 You must not go about spreading slander among your people. You must not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am the LORD.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
