Exodus 23:6 Context
4¶ If thou meete thine enemies oxe or his asse going astray, thou shalt surely bring it backe to him againe. 5If thou see the asse of him that hateth thee, lying vnder his burden, and wouldest forbeare to helpe him, thou shalt surely helpe with him. 6Thou shalt not wrest the iudgement of thy poore in his cause. 7Keepe thee farre from a false matter: and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not iustifie the wicked. 8¶ And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and peruerteth the words of the righteous.
