²⁴ Don't judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."

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.

¹⁵ You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

¹⁵ He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.

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.

⁹ But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

⁴ haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

¹ > Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?

² No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.

¹⁸ Judges and officers shall you make you in all your gates, which Yahweh your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

¹⁹ You shall not wrest justice: you shall not respect persons; neither shall you take a bribe; for a bribe does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

¹⁵ "'You shall do no injustice in judgment: you shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.

¹ My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.

²³ Who acquit the guilty for a bribe, But deny justice for the innocent!

²⁰ Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, Which brings about mischief by statute?

²¹ They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood.

² "How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked?" Selah.

²³ These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.
