⁹ He charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.

³ The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: One who rules over men righteously, Who rules in the fear of God,

¹⁶ I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him.

¹⁷ You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.

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

³ His delight shall be in the fear of Yahweh; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears;

⁴ but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he kill the wicked.

⁵ Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins.

¹ Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
