1 Thou shalt not take up a false report: thou shalt not put thy hand with the unjust one to be a witness of wrong. 2 Thou shalt not be after multitudes for evil; thou shalt not answer for the multitude to stretch out after multitudes to pervert justice. 3 And the poor one thou shalt not make proud in his cause. 4 If thou shalt meet thine enemy's ox or his ass wandering, turning back, thou shalt turn him back to him. 5 If thou shalt see the ass of him hating thee, lying down under his load, and thou didst desist from cutting loose for him, releasing, thou shall release with him. 6 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of thy needy in his cause. 7 From the word of falsehood thou shalt go far away; and the innocent and the just one thou shalt not kill: for I will not justify the unjust one.
