Exodus 23:6-11

6“You must not deny justice to a poor person among you in his lawsuit.

7Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent and the just, because I will not justify the guilty.

8You must not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and corrupts the words of the righteous.

9You must not oppress a resident alien; you yourselves know how it feels to be a resident alien because you were resident aliens in the land of Egypt.

10“Sow your land for six years and gather its produce.

11But during the seventh year you are to let it rest and leave it uncultivated, so that the poor among your people may eat from it and the wild animals may consume what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.
