Exodus 23:6-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ “In court, don’t let anyone take advantage of a person simply because that person is poor.

⁷ “Be very careful if you say that someone is guilty of something. Don’t make false charges against a person. Never allow innocent people to be killed as punishment for something they did not do. Whoever kills an innocent person is evil, and I will not treat a guilty person as innocent.
