Regulations Regarding Justice

Regulations Regarding Justice

23“ ‘You will not spread[fn] a false report. Do not lift your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness. 2You will not follow[fn] a majority[fn] for evil, and you will not testify concerning a legal dispute to turn aside after a majority[fn] to pervert justice. 3You will not be partial to a powerless person[fn] in his legal dispute.

4“ ‘If you come upon the ox of your enemy or his donkey going astray, you will certainly bring it back to him. 5If you see the donkey of your enemy lying down under its burden, you will refrain from abandoning him. You will surely arrange[fn] it with him.

6“ ‘You will not pervert the justice of your poor in his legal dispute. 7You will stay far from a false charge,[fn] and do not kill the innocent and the righteous, because I will not declare the wicked righteous.[fn] 8And you will not take a bribe, because the bribe makes the sighted blind and ruins the words of the righteous. 9And you will not oppress an alien; you yourselves know the feelings[fn] of the alien, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
