Far from

Thou shalt not utter a false report. Do not lay thy hand with a lawless man, to become a witness helping forward violence and wrong.

Ye shall not steal, - nor deceive nor lie one man to another;

When there shall rise up a wrongful witness against a man, - to answer against him perversely,

If thou return unto the Almighty and submit thyself, if thou far remove perversity from thy tent,

Upon the path of the lawless, do not thou enter, and do not advance in the way of the wicked:

He that walketh righteously, And speaketh uprightly, - He that refuseth the gain of exactions That shaketh his hands free from holding a bribe, That stoppeth his ear from hearkening to deeds of blood, And shutteth his eyes from giving countenance to wrong,

Then were questioning him, soldiers also, saying - What shall, even we, do? And he said unto them - Molest ye, no one, neither accuse falsely; and be content with your supplies.

Wherefore, stripping off what is false, be speaking truth each one with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;

From every form of wickedness, abstain.

The innocent

Cursed, be he that taketh a bribe to shed innocent blood. And all the people shall say - Amen.

For i will not

Keeping lovingkindness to a thousand generations, Forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, Though he leave not, utterly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers, Upon sons, And upon sons' sons, Unto a third and unto a fourth generation.

He that justifieth the lawless, and he that condemneth the righteous, an abomination to Yahweh, are they, both.

Yahweh, is slow to anger, but great in vigour, He will not leave, unpunished, as for Yahweh, in storm-wind and in tempest, is his way, and, clouds, are the dust of his feet.

For there is being revealed an anger of God from heaven - against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who, the truth, in unrighteousness, do hold down; -

But, according to thy hardness, and thine impenitent heart, art treasuring up for thyself anger, in a day of anger and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, -

When there ariseth a controversy between men, and they come nigh unto judgment, and judgment is granted them, then shall they justify the righteous man, and condemn the lawless.
