Thou shalt not kill. (In Judaism, it reads "Thou shalt not murder".)
On the surface, this is just what it says. Taking the (physical) life of another person is wrong.
There are other ways of "killing". You can kill a person's spirit also. A careless remark, a harsh criticism, ridicule, unkindness - in fact, any type of abuse - is "killing".
If there were legal means to take to trial and convict people on the many forms of killing (spiritual, emotional, psychological), how many of us would be walking around free, I wonder?
Just a thought ...
