Exodus 23:6 meaning and explanation

You shall not deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits.

Exodus 23:6, Berean Standard Bible

Verse 3 has just warned against favoring a poor man simply because he is poor; verse 6 guards the opposite failure, that poverty must never tip a verdict against someone.
