When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd,H310H7227H7451H6030H7379H5186H310H7227H5186 3and do not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.H1921H1800H7379 4"If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to take it back to him.H6293H341H7794H2543H8582H7725H7725H7725 5If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help him with it.H7200H2543H8130H7257H4853H2308H5800H5800H5800 6"Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.H5186H4941H34H7379 7Have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty.H7368H8267H1697H5355H6662H2026H6663H7563 8"Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.H3947H7810H7810H5786H6493H5557H1697H6662 9"Do not oppress an alien; you yourselves know how it feels to be aliens, because you were aliens in Egypt.H3905H1616H3045H5315H1616H3588H1616H776H4714 10"For six years you are to sow your fields and harvest the crops,H8337H8141H2232H776H622H8393 11but during the seventh year let the land lie unplowed and unused. Then the poor among your people may get food from it, and the wild animals may eat what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.H7637H8058H5203H34H5971H398H3499H2416H7704H398H6213H3754H2132 12"Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the slave born in your household, and the alien as well, may be refreshed.H8337H3117H6213H4639H7637H3117H7673H7794H2543H5117H1121H519H1616H5314 13"Be careful to do everything I have said to you.

Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him.H8104H6440H8085H6963H4843H5375H6588H8034H7130 22If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you.H8085H8085H6963H6213H1696H340H341H6887H6696 23My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out.H4397H3212H6440H935H567H2850H6522H3669H2340H2983H3582 24Do not bow down before their gods or worship them or follow their practices.
