He that backbiteth not with his leshon, nor doeth ra’ah to his re’a, nor taketh up a slur to discredit his neighbor.

In whose eyes a vile person is despicable; but he honoreth them that fear Hashem. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

He that putteth not out his kesef to neshekh (usury), nor taketh bribes against the naki (innocent). He that doeth these things shall never be shaken.

    who does not accept a bribe(E) against the innocent.

Whoever does these things
