Leviticus 19:8

God's holiness

6 It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it, or on the next day; but what remains on the third day must be burned up.

7 If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is tainted and will not be accepted.

Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person must be cut off from his people.

9 When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

10 You must not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
