Exodus 23:1-9

1Thou shalt not takeH5375 up a false reportH8088: putH7896 not thy handH3027 with the wickedH7563 to beH1961 an unrighteous witnessH5707. 2Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evilH7451; neither shalt thou speak in a causeH7379 to turnH5186 asideH5186 after a multitude to wrest justice: 3neither shalt thou favor a poorH1800 man in his causeH7379.

4If thou meetH6293 thine enemy’s oxH7794 or his ass goingH7725 astrayH8582, thou shalt surely bringH7725 it backH7725 to him again. 5If thou seeH7200 the ass of him that hateth thee lyingH7257 under his burdenH4853, thou shalt forbear to leaveH5800 him, thou shalt surely release it with him.

6Thou shalt not wrest the justiceH4941 due to thy poor in his causeH7379. 7Keep thee farH7368 from a false matterH1697; and the innocentH5355 and righteousH6662 slayH2026 thou not: for I will not justifyH6663 the wickedH7563. 8And thou shalt takeH3947 no bribeH7810: for a bribeH7810 blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662. 9And a sojournerH1616 shalt thou not oppressH3905: for ye knowH3045 the heart of a sojournerH1616, seeing ye wereH1961 sojournersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
