Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 21 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God,
- B 21 thou shalt not slack to pay it:
  - C 21 for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
    - D 22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow,
  - C' 22 it shall be no sin in thee.
- B' 23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform;
A' 23 even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.

A 24 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard,
- B 24 then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure;
  - C 24 but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.
A' 25 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour,
- B' 25 then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand;
  - C' 25 but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.
