3 You shall not show partiality to a ^apoor man in his dispute.  ‡

4 ^a“If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.  ‡

5 ^aIf you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, and you would refrain from helping it, you shall surely help him with it.  ‡

6 ^a“You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his dispute.  ‡

7 ^aKeep yourself far from a false matter; ^bdo not kill the innocent and righteous. For ^cI will not justify the wicked.  ‡
