Exodus 23:6-11

6“Never deny justice to poor people in court.

7Avoid telling lies. Don’t kill innocent or honest people, because I will never declare guilty people innocent.

8Never take a bribe, because bribes blind those who can see and deny justice to those who are in the right.

9“Never oppress foreigners. You know what it’s like to be foreigners because you were foreigners living in Egypt.

10“For six years you may plant crops in your fields and harvest them,

11but in the seventh year you must leave the land unplowed and unused. In that way the poor among your people will have food to eat, and wild animals may eat what the poor people leave. You must do the same with your vineyards and olive groves.
