The Battle is Over - Deuteronomy 25

If there be a controversy between men, and they  come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then  they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.  Deuteronomy 25:1 

Deuteronomy 25:2 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be  beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be  beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain  number. 

Deuteronomy 25:3 Forty stripes he may give him, and not  exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these  with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto  thee.  

Deuteronomy 25:4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out  the corn.  

Deuteronomy 25:5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die,  and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry  without unto a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in  unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty  of an husband’s brother unto her. 

Deuteronomy 25:6 And it shall be,  that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the  name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not  put out of Israel. 

Deuteronomy 25:7 And if the man like not to take his  brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up to the gate  unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to  raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not  perform the duty of my husband’s brother. 

Deuteronomy 25:8 Then the  elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if  he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her; 

Deuteronomy 25:9 Then  shall his brother’s wife come unto him in the presence of  the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in  his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto  that man that will not build up his brother’s house. 

Deuteronomy 25:10  And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him  that hath his shoe loosed.   

Deuteronomy 25:11 When men strive together one with another, and  the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband  out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth  her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: 

Deuteronomy 25:12 Then thou  shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.  

Deuteronomy 25:13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a  great and a small. 

Deuteronomy 25:14 Thou shalt not have in thine  house divers measures, a great and a small. 

Deuteronomy 25:15 But  thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just  measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in  the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 

Deuteronomy 25:16 For  all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are  an abomination unto the LORD thy God.   

Deuteronomy 25:17 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the  way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt; 

Deuteronomy 25:18 How  he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee,  even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast  faint and weary; and he feared not God. 

Deuteronomy 25:19 Therefore  it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest  from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the  LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it,  that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from  under heaven; thou shalt not forget it. KJV
