23 (A)“You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a (B)malicious witness. You shall not fall in with the many to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a lawsuit, siding with the many, so as to pervert justice, (C)nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his lawsuit.

(D)“If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall bring it back to him. If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying down under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving him with it; you shall rescue it with him.

(E)“You shall not pervert the justice due to your poor in his lawsuit. (F)Keep far from a false charge, and (G)do not kill the innocent and righteous, for (H)I will not acquit the wicked. (I)And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.
