4 "Suppose you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering away. Then be sure to take it back to him.
5 "Suppose you see that the donkey of someone who hates you has fallen down under its load. Then do not leave it there. Be sure you help him with it.
6 "Be fair to your poor people in their court cases.
7 Do not have anything to do with a charge that is false. Do not put to death those who are not guilty of doing anything wrong. I will not let those who are guilty go free.
