Exodus 23:1-7 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.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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. ² Thou shalt not follow multitudes to commit wickedness,––neither shalt thou answer in a quarrel, so as to turn away after multitudes to mislead. ³ Even a poor man, shalt thou not prefer in his quarrel. ⁴ When thou meetest the ox of thine enemy, or his ass, going astray, thou shalt, surely bring it back, to him. ⁵ When thou seest the ass of him that hateth thee, sinking down under his burden, and mightest have foreborne to unload him, thou shalt, surely help him to unload. ⁶ Thou shalt not pervert the vindication of thy needy one, in his quarrel. ⁷ From a matter of falsehood, thou shalt keep far away,––and, the innocent one and the righteous, do not thou slay, for I will not justify a lawless man.
