Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Exodus 23
² Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
³ Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
⁴ If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
⁵ If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
⁶ Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
⁷ Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
⁸ And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
⁹ Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
¹⁰ And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
¹¹ But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
¹² Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
