With great sensitivity the changes
on the theme are rung, with admonitions against a false report; against false witness with malicious intent, entered into with a wicked accomplice; against the larger
company's (the mob's) headstrong purpose to pervert justice; and against the tendency to temper justice
on behalf of the poor (since Israelite torah itself exhibits this partiality, let the witness
always be true).
I've confirmed this myself
on many occasions — when in the past I have conducted in - depth interviews
on behalf of client
companies, I am
always surprised at how many prosperous people have had luck or coincidence come to their aid.
