Laws About Justice

Exodus 23:1-9

23
Chapter 23
1 You shall not spread a false report; do not join hands with a wicked person to be a malicious witness. 2 You shall not go after the many to do evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to side with the many to pervert justice. 3 Do not favor a poor person in his lawsuit. 4 If you encounter your enemy's ox or donkey straying, you shall return it to him. 5 If you see the donkey of the one you hate lying down under its burden, do not leave it there—you shall surely help him with it. 6 You shall not pervert the justice due to your poor person in his dispute. 7 Keep far from a lying word, and do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not justify a wicked person. 8 And you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds those with open eyes and perverts the words of the righteous. 9 And you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the nephesh of a stranger, since you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
