5 Si vieres el asno del que te aborrece caído debajo de su carga, ¿le dejarás entonces desamparado? Sin falta ayudarás con él á levantarlo.
6 No pervertirás el derecho de tu mendigo en su pleito.
7 De palabra de mentira te alejarás, y no matarás al inocente y justo; porque yo no justificaré al impío.
