Exodus 23:7 in Context — Exodus 23
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.
9 E não angustiarás ao estrangeiro: pois vós sabeis como se acha a alma do estrangeiro, já que estrangeiros fostes na terra do Egito.
