King James 2000

Exodus 23:1-8 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

1. You shall not raise a false report: put not your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

2. You shall not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shall you testify in a dispute to follow

3. Neither shall you be partial to a poor man in his cause.

4. If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.

5. If you see the donkey of him who hates you lying under its burden, and would refrain to help him, you shall surely help with him.

6. You shall not pervert the justice of your poor in his dispute.

7. Keep far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay you not: for I will not justify the wicked.

8. And you shall take no bribe: for the bribe blinds the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.
