Exodus 23:7 (NASB)

Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not acquit the guilty.

Leviticus 18:21 (NASB)

You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am the Lord.

Jeremiah 32:33-35 (NASB)

They have turned their back to Me and not their face; though I taught them, teaching again and again, they would not listen and receive instruction. 34 But they put their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. 35 They built the high places of Baal that are in the valley of Ben-hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech, which I had not commanded them nor had it entered My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

Deuteronomy 27:25 (NASB)

‘Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to strike down an innocent person.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
