19 ^fYou shall not pervert justice. ^gYou shall not show partiality, ^hand you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous.

7 ^dKeep far from a false charge, and ⁱdo not kill the innocent and righteous, for ^jI will not acquit the wicked. 8 ^kAnd you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.

12 In you ^sthey take bribes to shed blood; ^tyou take interest and profit¹ and make gain of your neighbors by extortion; but ^ume you have forgotten, declares the Lord God.
