In context
1 Do not let a false statement go further; do not make an agreement with evil-doers to be a false witness.
2 Do not be moved to do wrong by the general opinion, or give the support of your words to a wrong decision:
3 But, on the other hand, do not be turned from what is right in order to give support to a poor man's cause.
4 If you come across the ox or the ass of one who is no friend to you wandering from its way, you are to take it back to him.
