Deuteronomy 25:7

But if the man does not want to marry his brother’s widow, she is to go to the elders at the city gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to preserve his brother’s name in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If the man doesn’t want to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother to me.”
World English Bible (WEB)
And if the man{H376} like{H2654}{(H8799)} not to take{H3947}{(H8800)} his brother's wife{H2994}, then let his brother's wife{H2994} go up{H5927}{(H8804)} to the gate{H8179} unto the elders{H2205}, and say{H559}{(H8804)}, My husband's brother{H2993} refuseth{H3985}{(H8765)} to raise up{H6965}{(H8687)} unto his brother{H251} a name{H8034} in Israel{H3478}, he will{H14}{(H8804)} not perform the duty of my husband's brother{H2992}{(H8763)}.
