Exodus 23:1-9 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. Thou shalt not receive the voice of a lie: neither shalt thou join thy hand to bear false witness for a wicked person.

2. Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth.

3. Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in judgment.

4. If thou meet thy enemy's ox or ass going astray, bring it back to him.

5. If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lie underneath his burden, thou shalt not pass by, but shalt lift him up with him.

6. Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man's judgment.

7. Thou shalt fly lying. The innocent and just person thou shalt not put to death: because I abhor the wicked.

8. Neither shalt thou take bribes, which even blind the wise, and pervert the words of the just.

9. Thou shalt not molest a stranger, for you know the hearts of strangers: for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
