Exodus 23:6-8

Christian Standard Bible

⁶ “You must not deny justice to a poor person among you in his lawsuit. ⁷ Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent and the just, because I will not justify the guilty.^{(A) 8} You must not take a bribe,^(B) for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and corrupts the words^[a] of the righteous.
