2 Tu ne suivras point la multitude pour faire le mal; et tu ne déposeras point dans un procès en te mettant du côté du grand nombre, pour violer la justice.

3 Tu ne favoriseras point le pauvre dans son procès.

4 Si tu rencontres le bœuf de ton ennemi ou son âne égaré, tu le lui ramèneras.

5 Si tu vois l’âne de ton ennemi succombant sous sa charge, et que tu hésites à le décharger, tu l’aideras à le décharger.

6 Tu ne porteras point atteinte au droit du pauvre dans son procès.
