Exodus 23

¹Thou shalt not receive the voice of a lie: neither shalt thou join thy hand to bear false witness for a wicked person.

²Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth.

³Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in judgment.

⁴If thou meet thy enemy’s ox or ass going astray, bring it back to him.

⁵If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lie underneath his burden, thou shalt not pass by, but shalt lift him up with him.

⁶Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man’s judgment.

⁷Thou shalt fly lying. The innocent and just person thou shalt not put to death: because I abhor the wicked.

⁸Neither shalt thou take bribes, which even blind the wise, and pervert the words of the just.

⁹Thou shalt not molest a stranger, for you know the hearts of strangers: for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.

¹⁰Six years thou shalt sow thy ground, and shalt gather the corn thereof.

¹¹But the seventh year thou shalt let it alone, and suffer it to rest, that the poor of thy people may eat, and whatsoever shall be left, let the beasts of the field eat it: so shalt thou do with thy vineyard and thy oliveyard.

¹²Six days thou shalt work: the seventh day thou shalt cease, that thy ox and thy ass may rest: and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed.

Keep all things that I have said to you. And by the name of strange gods you shall not swear, neither shall it be heard out of your mouth.
