| 7. Formal Translation Keep far from a matter of falsehood, and do not kill the innocent and the just; for I {Yahweh, Upholder of Justice} will not acquit the wicked. |
| 7. Dynamic Translation Stay away from any false charge, and never slay an innocent person or a righteous one; because I {Yahweh, Righteous Arbiter} will never declare the wicked righteous. |
