In context
6 Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man's judgment.
7 Thou shalt fly lying. The innocent and just person thou shalt not put to death: because I abhor the wicked.
8 Neither shalt thou take bribes, which even blind the wise, and pervert the words of the just.
9 Thou shalt not molest a stranger, for you know the hearts of strangers: for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 Six years thou shalt sow thy ground, and shalt gather the corn thereof.
11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it alone, and suffer it to rest, that the poor of thy people may eat, and whatsoever shall be left, let the beasts of the field eat it: so shalt thou do with thy vineyard and thy oliveyard.
12 Six days thou shalt work: the seventh day thou shalt cease, that thy ox and thy ass may rest: and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed.
