Exodus 23:1-9
1“You shall notH3808 spreadH5375 a falseH7723 reportH8088. Do notH408 joinH7896H3027H5973 the wickedH7563 by beingH1961 a maliciousH2555 witnessH5707.
2You shall notH3808 followH1961H310 the crowdH7227 in wrongdoingH7451. When you testifyH6030 inH5921 a lawsuitH7379, do notH3808 pervert justiceH5186 by sidingH5186 withH310 the crowdH7227. 3And do notH3808 show favoritismH1921 to a poor manH1800 in his lawsuitH7379.
4IfH3588 you encounterH6293 your enemy’sH341 strayH8582 oxH7794 orH176 donkeyH2543, you must return itH7725 to him.
5IfH3588 you seeH7200 the donkeyH2543 of one who hates youH8130 fallenH7257 underH8478 its loadH4853, do notH2308 leaveH5800 it there; you must help himH5800 with itH5973.
6You shall notH3808 denyH5186 justiceH4941 to the poorH34 in their lawsuitsH7379. 7Stay far awayH7368 from a falseH8267 accusationH1697. Do notH408 killH2026 the innocentH5355 or the justH6662, forH3588 I will notH3808 acquitH6663 the guiltyH7563.
8Do notH3808 acceptH3947 a bribeH7810, forH3588 a bribeH7810 blindsH5786 those who seeH6493 and twistsH5557 the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662.
9Do notH3808 oppressH3905 a foreign residentH1616, since youH859 yourselves knowH3045 how it feels to be foreignersH1616; forH3588 you wereH1961 foreignersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
