In context

7Thou shalt abstain from every unjust thing: thou shalt not slay the innocent and just, and thou shalt not justify the wicked for gifts.

8And thou shalt not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing, and corrupt just words.

— Exodus 23:9 —

10Six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in the fruits of it.

11But in the seventh year thou shalt let it rest, and leave it, and the poor of thy nation shall feed; and the wild beasts of the field shall eat that which remains: thus shalt thou do to thy vineyard and to thine olive yard.
