Exodus 23:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 You will stay far from a false charge,[a] and do not kill the innocent and the righteous, because I will not declare the wicked righteous.[b] 8 And you will not take a bribe, because the bribe makes the sighted blind and ruins the words of the righteous. 9 And you will not oppress an alien; you yourselves know the feelings[c] of the alien, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
