1 [The LORD continued,] |Never spread false rumors. Don't join forces with wicked people by giving false testimony. 2 Never follow a crowd in doing wrong. When you testify in court, don't side with the majority to pervert justice. 3 Never give special favors to poor people in court. 4 |Whenever you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering loose, be sure to take it back to him. 5 Whenever you see that the donkey of someone who hates you has collapsed under its load, don't leave it there. Be sure to help him with his animal. 6 |Never deny justice to poor people in court. 7 Avoid telling lies. Don't kill innocent or honest people, because I will never declare guilty people innocent.
