⁷ "Keep far from a false charge, and don't kill the innocent and righteous: for I will not justify the wicked.

⁷ keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children's children, on the third and on the fourth generation."

²⁵ Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members one of another.

²⁵ Cursed be he who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person. All the people shall say, Amen.

¹ "You shall not spread a false report. Don't join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.

¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

¹¹ "'You shall not steal; neither shall you deal falsely, nor lie to one another.

²² Abstain from every form of evil.

⁵ But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God;

⁶ who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"

¹⁴ Soldiers also asked him, saying, "What about us? What must we do?" He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages."

³ Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

¹⁵ He who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands from taking a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking on evil:

¹⁵ He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.

¹⁴ Don't enter into the path of the wicked. Don't walk in the way of evil men.

¹⁵ Avoid it, and don't pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on.

²³ If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up, If you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.

¹⁶ If an unrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify against him of wrong-doing,

¹⁷ then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before Yahweh, before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days;

¹⁸ and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother;

¹⁹ then shall you do to him, as he had thought to do to his brother: so shall you put away the evil from the midst of you.

²⁰ Those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil in the midst of you.

²¹ Your eyes shall not pity; life [shall go] for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

¹³ "You shall not murder.
