Exodus 23:6-9

6“1You shall not pervert the justice due to your needy brother in his dispute. 72Keep far from a false charge, and 3do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for 4I will not acquit the guilty.

8“5You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and 6subverts the cause of the just.

9“7You shall not oppress a stranger, since you yourselves know the 8feelings of a stranger, for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
