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. 8And thou shalt takeH3947 no bribeH7810: for the bribeH7810 blindethH5786 the wiseH6493, and pervertethH5557 the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662.1 9Also thou shalt not oppressH3905 a strangerH1616: for ye knowH3045 the heartH5315 of a strangerH1616, seeingH3588 ye were strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.2

10And sixH8337 yearsH8141 thou shalt sowH2232 thy landH776, and shalt gatherH622 in its fruitsH8393: 11But the seventhH7637 year thou shalt let it restH8058 and lieH5203 still; that the poorH34 of thy peopleH5971 may eatH398: and what they leaveH3499 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall eatH398. In like manner thou shalt dealH6213 with thy vineyardH3754, and with thy oliveyardH2132.3
