Exodus 23:1-5 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. "Do not spread reports that are false. Do not help an evil person by telling lies in court.

2. "Do not follow the crowd when they do what is wrong. When you are a witness in court, do not turn what is right into wrong. Do not go along with the crowd.

3. Do not show favor to a poor person in court.

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.
