⁸ Will you have respect for God's person in this cause, and put yourselves forward as his supporters?

²³ These are more sayings of the wise: To have respect for a person's position when judging is not good.

² Do not be moved to do wrong by the general opinion, or give the support of your words to a wrong decision:

³ But, on the other hand, do not be turned from what is right in order to give support to a poor man's cause.

¹⁵ Do no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in righteousness.

²¹ Let me not give respect to any man, or give names of honour to any living.

¹⁹ Who has no respect for rulers, and who gives no more attention to those who have wealth than to the poor, for they are all the work of his hands.

⁹ And so I have taken away your honour and made you low before all the people, even as you have not kept my ways, and have given no thought to me in using the law.
