Exodus 23:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ When you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden and you would hold back from setting it free, you must help to set it free.^[a]

⁶ You shall not pervert the justice due to your poor in their lawsuits. ⁷ Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and those in the right, for I will not acquit the guilty.
