Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent or the just, for I will not acquit the guilty.

from a false matter thou dost keep far off, and an innocent and righteous man thou dost not slay; for I do not justify a wicked man.

Thou shalt keep far from the cause of falsehood; and the innocent and righteous slay not; for I will not justify the wicked.
