Exodus 23:6 in Context — Exodus 23

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.

7 Tu ne prononceras point de sentence inique, et tu ne feras point mourir l’innocent et le juste; car je n’absoudrai point le coupable.

8 Tu ne recevras point de présent; car les présents aveuglent ceux qui ont les yeux ouverts et corrompent les paroles des justes.
