12 But if the animal was stolen from the neighbor, he must make restitution to the owner." (NIV)
Exodus 22:14 "If a man borrows an animal from his neighbor and it is injured or dies while the owner is not present, he must make restitution.

Ezekiel 33:12 "Now, mortal man, tell the Israelites that when a good man sins, the good he has done will not save him. If an evil man stops doing evil, he won't be punished, and if a good man starts sinning, his life will not be spared.
13 I may promise life to a good man, but if he starts thinking that his past goodness is enough and begins to sin, I will not remember any of the good he did. He will die because of his sins.
14 I may warn an evil man that he is going to die, but if he stops sinning and does what is right and good —
15 for example, if he returns the security he took for a loan or gives back what he stole [Moffatt: refunding what he has robbed] — if he stops sinning and follows the laws that give life, he will not die, but live.
16 I will forgive the sins he has committed, and he will live because he has done what is right and good." (GNT)
Luke 19:1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans [NKJV: who was a chief tax collector], and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
