Exodus 23:6 in Context — Exodus 23

4 Se encontrares o boi de teu inimigo ou seu asno extraviado, traze-o de volta.

5 Se vires o asno do que te aborrece caído debaixo de sua carga, lhe deixarás então desamparado? Sem falta ajudarás com ele a levantá-lo.

6 Não perverterás o direito de teu pobre em seu pleito.

7 De palavra de mentira te afastarás, e não matarás ao inocente e justo; porque eu não justificarei ao ímpio.

8 Não receberás suborno; porque o suborno cega aos que veem, e perverte as palavras justas.
