1 YOU shall not confirm a false report: do not stretch out your hand taking oaths with the guilty to become a false witness for him. 2 You shall not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shall you testify in a lawsuit so as to pervert justice, in order to side with a multitude which deviates from justice. 3 Neither shall you be partial to a poor man in his lawsuit. 4 If you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again. 5 If you should see the ass of your enemy lying under its burden, and you are unwilling to help him lift it up, you should surely help him to lift it up nevertheless. Exodus 23:1-5, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
