²³ These also are `sayings' of the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.

²¹ To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.

⁵ To respect the person of the wicked is not good, `Nor' to turn aside the righteous in judgment.

⁶ To understand a proverb, and a figure, The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

⁴³ Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah. Psalm 108 A Song, A Psalm of David.

¹⁵ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.

¹⁷ And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.

⁴ Do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world `to be' rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?

⁶ But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?

²⁰ Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

²¹ I charge `thee' in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.

²⁴ Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

⁹ Who is wise, that he may understand these things? prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall therein.

¹ Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

² I `counsel thee', Keep the king's command, and that in regard of the oath of God.

³ Be not hasty to go out of his presence; persist not in an evil thing: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

⁴ For the king's word `hath' power; and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

⁵ Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart discerneth time and judgment:

¹⁷ Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, And apply thy heart unto my knowledge.

² How long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked? Selah

³ Judge the poor and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

⁴ Rescue the poor and needy: Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

⁷ Now therefore let the fear of Jehovah be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Jehovah our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.

¹⁹ Thou shalt not wrest justice: thou shalt not respect persons; neither shalt thou take a bribe; for a bribe doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

¹⁷ Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; ye shall hear the small and the great alike; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you ye shall bring unto me, and I will hear it.
