Exodus 23:1-9 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
1
"You shall not utter a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man, to be a malicious witness.
2
You shall not follow a multitude to do evil; nor shall you bear witness in a suit, turning aside after a multitude, so as to pervert justice;
3
nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his suit.
4
"If you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall bring it back to him.
5
If you see the ass of one who hates you lying under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving him with it, you shall help him to lift it up.
6
"You shall not pervert the justice due to your poor in his suit.
7
Keep far from a false charge, and do not slay the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked.
8
And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the officials, and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.
9
"You shall not oppress a stranger; you know the heart of a stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
