Exodus 23:6-11

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.

10And sixH8337 yearsH8141 thou shalt sowH2232 thy landH776, and shalt gatherH622 in the increase thereof: 11but the seventhH7637 yearH7637 thou shalt let it restH3499 and lie fallow; that the poor of thy peopleH5971 may eatH398: and what they leaveH5203 the beast of the fieldH7704 shall eatH398. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyardH3754, and with thy oliveyard.
