Exodus 23:1-9

1Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.1 2Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to turn aside after many to pervert judgment :2 3Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause. 4If thou shalt meet thy enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. 5If thou shalt see the donkey of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.3 6Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of thy poor in his cause. 7Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked. 8And thou shalt take no bribe: for the bribe blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.4 9Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.5
