Exodus 23:1-7 ▼

1 “You shall not bear a false report; do not join your hand with a wicked man to be a malicious witness.

2 “You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice;

3 nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his dispute.

4 “If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey wandering away, you shall surely return it to him.

5 “If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying helpless under its load, you shall refrain from leaving it to him, you shall surely release it with him.

6 “You shall not pervert the justice due to your needy brother in his dispute.

7 “Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not acquit the guilty.
