1 You must not give a false report. Do not make common cause with the wicked to be a malicious witness.

2 You must not follow a crowd in doing evil things; in a lawsuit you must not offer testimony that agrees with a crowd so as to pervert justice,

3 and you must not show partiality to a poor man in his lawsuit.

4 If you encounter your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, you must by all means return it to him.

5 If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen under its load, you must not ignore him, but be sure to help him with it.
