King James Version KJV
1 You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with the wicked to act as a malicious witness.
1
Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2 You shall not follow a majority in wrongdoing; when you bear witness in a lawsuit, you shall not side with the majority so as to pervert justice;

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
3 nor shall you be partial to the poor in a lawsuit.
3
Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
4 When you come upon your enemy's ox or donkey going astray, you shall bring it back
4
If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again
5 When you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden and you would hold back from setting it free, you must help to set it free.
5
If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.

7
Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

8
And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

10 For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield;
10
And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild animals may eat. You shall do the same with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.
11
But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
12 Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your donkey may have relief, and your homeborn slave and the resident alien may be refreshed.
12
Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
13 Be attentive to all that I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other gods; do not let them be heard on your lips.
