Exodus 23:1-9 - Regulations Regarding Justice
1 "You must not give a false report. Do not make common cause with the wicked to be a malicious witness.
2 "You must not follow a crowd in doing evil things; in a lawsuit you must not offer testimony that agrees with a crowd so as to pervert justice, 3 and you must not show partiality to a poor man in his lawsuit.
4 "If you encounter your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, you must by all means return it to him.
5 If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen under its load, you must not ignore him, but be sure to help him with it.
6 "You must not turn away justice for your poor people in their lawsuits. 7 Keep your distance from a false charge -- do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I will not justify the wicked. 8 "You must not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and subverts the words of the righteous. 9 "You must not oppress a foreigner, since you know the life of a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
