Exodus 23:1-9

1Thou shalt not accept a false report; extend not thy hand to the wicked, to be an unrighteous witness.

2Thou shalt not follow the multitude for evil; neither shalt thou answer in a cause, to go after the multitude to pervert [judgment].

3Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause.

4— If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt certainly bring it back to him.

5If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under its burden, beware of leaving [it] to him: thou shalt certainly loosen [it] with him.

6Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

7Thou shalt keep far from the cause of falsehood; and the innocent and righteous slay not; for I will not justify the wicked.

8And thou shalt take no bribe; for the bribe blindeth those whose eyes are open, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

9And the stranger thou shalt not oppress; for ye know the spirit of the stranger, for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.
