Exodus 23

⁴ If you encounter your enemy’s stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him.

⁵ If you see the donkey of one who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; you must help him with it.

⁶ You shall not deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits.

⁸ Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.
