John Gill Commentary Exodus 23:6

"Thou shalt not wrest the justice [due] to thy poor in his cause." — Exodus 23:6 (ASV)

You shall not wrest the judgment of your poor in his cause .
] As the poor man was not to be favoured when his cause was bad through an affected pity for him as a poor man, so his judgment was not to be wrested or perverted, when his cause was good, because of his poverty; which is too often the case, through the power of rich men, and the prevalence of their gifts and bribes, and to curry favour with them:

The phrase, "your poor", is very emphatic, and intended to engage judges to regard them, as being of the same flesh and blood with them, of the same nation and religion; and who were particularly committed to their care and protection under God, who is the Judge and protector of the poor, of the widow and the fatherless.
