Not you must bear a report of falsehood may not you put hand your with a wicked [person] to be a witness of injustice.

2 You shall not follow the crowd in wrongdoing. When you testify in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd.

10 For six years you are to sow your land and gather its produce,

And six years you will sow land your and you will gather produce its.

11 but in the seventh year you must let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat from the field and the wild animals may consume what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and olive grove.
