Laws of Ethical Justice and Integrity

1

¶ Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

2

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:

3

Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

4

If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

5

If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.

6

Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

7

Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

8

And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

9

Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
