International Standard Version Stay far away from a false charge, and don't kill the innocent or the righteous, because I won't acquit the guilty.
American Standard Version Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
Young's Literal Translation 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.
