Exodus 23:6-9

6“1You shall not pervertH5186 the justiceH4941 due to your needyH34 brother in his disputeH7379. 72KeepH7368 farH7368 from a falseH8267 chargeH1697, and 3do not killH2026 the innocentH5355 or the righteousH6662, for 4I will not acquitH6663 the guiltyH7563.

8“5You shall not takeH3947 a bribeH7810, for a bribeH7810 blindsH5786 the clear-sightedH6493 and 6subvertsH5557 the causeH1697 of the justH6662.

9“7You shall not oppressH3905 a 8strangerH1616, since you yourselvesH864 knowH3045 the 9feelingsH5315 of a 10strangerH1616, for you also were 11strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
