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. 9 You must not oppress a resident alien;(C) you yourselves know how it feels to be a resident alien because you were resident aliens in the land of Egypt.
