Exodus 23:1-7

1Thou shalt not raiseH5375 a falseH7723 reportH8088: putH7896 not thy handH3027 with the wickedH7563 to be an unrighteousH2555 witnessH5707.1

2Thou shalt not followH310 a multitudeH7227 to do evilH7451; neither shalt thou speakH6030 in a causeH7379 to turn asideH5186 afterH310 manyH7227 to pervertH5186 judgment :2

3Neither shalt thou countenanceH1921 a poorH1800 man in his causeH7379.

4If thou shalt meetH6293 thy enemy’sH341 oxH7794 or his donkeyH2543 going astrayH8582, thou shalt surelyH7725 bring it backH7725 to him againH7725.

5If thou shalt seeH7200 the donkeyH2543 of him that hatethH8130 thee lyingH7257 under his burdenH4853, and wouldest forbearH2308 to helpH5800 him, thou shalt surelyH5800 helpH5800 with him.3

6Thou shalt not pervertH5186 the judgmentH4941 of thy poorH34 in his causeH7379.

7Keep thee farH7368 from a falseH8267 matterH1697; and the innocentH5355 and righteousH6662 slayH2026 thou not: for I will not justifyH6663 the wickedH7563.
