1 ⌊The Lord continued,⌋ “Never spread false rumors. Don’t join forces with wicked people by giving false testimony.
2 Never follow a crowd in doing wrong. When you testify in court, don’t side with the majority to pervert justice.
3 Never give special favors to poor people in court.
4 “Whenever you come across your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering loose, be sure to take it back to him.
5 Whenever you see that the donkey of someone who hates you has collapsed under its load, don’t leave it there. Be sure to help him with his animal.
6 “Never deny justice to poor people in court.
