Exodus 23:7-9

Living Bible

⁷“Keep far away from falsely charging anyone with evil; never let an innocent person be put to death. I will not stand for this.^[a]

⁸“Take no bribes, for a bribe makes you unaware of what you clearly see! A bribe hurts the cause of the person who is right.

⁹“Do not oppress foreigners; you know what it’s like to be a foreigner; remember your own experience in the land of Egypt.

Exodus 23:7 I will not stand for this, literally, “I will not acquit the wicked.”
