For the Lord your God, He [is the] God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great and mighty; the awesome God, who is no respector of persons, nor will He by any means accept a bribe;

they shall not pervert judgment, nor favor persons, nor receive a gift; for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

You shall not act unjustly in judgment: you shall not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shall you judge your neighbor.

But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance, nor on his stature, for I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.

For we shall surely die, and be as water poured upon the earth, which shall not be gathered up, and God shall take the life, even as He devises to thrust forth from Him His outcast.

And this thing I say to you that are wise, for you to learn: It is not good to show partiality in judgment.

Then they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth:

And Peter, opening his mouth, said: "In truth I comprehend that God is not One to show partiality.

But in every nation, he that fears Him and works righteousness is acceptable to Him.

For there is no partiality with God.

And masters, do the same things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

But the [one] doing wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is not partiality.

My brothers, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.

and you have respect for him that wears the fine clothes and you say to him, "You sit here in a good seat," and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here under my footstool,"

but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear;

And you shall not spare a poor man in judgment.

You shall not pervert the judgment of the poor in his cause.

You shall abstain from every unjust thing: you shall not slay the innocent and righteous, and you shall not justify the wicked for gifts.

Behold, [here am] I, answer against me before the Lord and before His anointed. Whose calf have I taken? Or whose donkey have I taken? Or who among you have I oppressed? Or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, even as [much as a] sandal? Bear witness against me, and I will make restitution to you.

And they said to Samuel, You have not injured us, and you have not oppressed us; and you have not afflicted us, and you have not taken anything from anyone's hand.

And you have taken [the] security of your brethren for nothing, and have taken away the clothing of the naked.

And you have accepted the persons of some; and you have established those [that were already settled] on the earth.

For the ear heard, and blessed me; and the eye saw me, and turned aside.

Let the blessing of the perishing one come upon me; yea, the mouth of the widow has blessed me.

I was the eye of the blind, and the foot of the lame.

And I broke the fangs of the wicked; I plucked the spoil out of the midst of their teeth.

And if I also despised the judgment of my servant or my handmaid, when they pleaded with me;

Were not they formed too, as I also was formed in the womb? Yea, we were formed in the same womb.

Judge the orphan and poor; do justice to the low and needy.

Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.

Do no violence to the poor, for he is needy, neither dishonor the helpless man in the gates.

For the Lord will plead his cause, and you shall deliver your soul in safety.

They have transgressed [the rule of] judgment; they have not judged the cause of the orphan, nor have they judged the cause of the widow.

Shall I not punish for these things? Says the Lord: and shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Therefore because they have smitten the poor with their fists, and you have received of them choice gifts, you have built polished houses, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink the wine of them.

For I know your many transgressions, and your sins are great, trampling on the just, taking bribes, and turning aside [the judgment of] the poor in the gates.

They meditated troubles, and wrought wickedness on their beds, and they put it in execution with the daylight; for they have not lifted up their hands to God.

Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I devise evils against this family, out of which you shall not lift up your necks, neither shall you walk upright speedily: for the time is evil.

And He shall say, Hear now these words, you heads of the house of Jacob, and you remnant of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know judgment?

even as they devoured the flesh of My people, and stripped their skins off them, and broke their bones, and divided [them] as flesh for the caldron, and as meat for the pot,

They prepare their hands for mischief, the prince asks a [reward], and the judge speaks flattering words; it is the desire of their soul;

therefore I will take away their goods as a devouring moth, and as one who acts by a [rigid] rule in a day of visitation. Woe, woe, your times of vengeance have come; now shall be their lamentations.

For if a man enters into your assembly with a gold ring, in fine clothes, and there should also come in a poor [man] in dirty clothes,

and so did you not differentiate among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

And she wrote a letter in the name of Ahab, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders, and to the freemen who dwelt with Naboth.

And set two men, sons of transgressors, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, He blasphemed God and the king: and let them lead him forth, and stone him, and let him die.

And they proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth in a chief place among the people.

And they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned, and is dead.

(for I did not stand in awe of a great multitude, so as not to declare boldly before them:) and if I also permitted a poor man to go out of my door with an empty bosom-

[Those] fearing and reverencing men [unreasonably] have been overthrown, but he that trusts in the Lord shall rejoice. Ungodliness causes a man to stumble, but he that trusts in his master shall be safe.

Gird up your loins, and stand up, and speak all [the words] that I shall command you. Be not afraid of their face, neither be alarmed before them; for I am with you, to deliver you, says the Lord.

And they sent their disciples to Him with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You show favoritism to anyone.

And they came and said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and it does not make a difference to you about anyone; for You do not look on the face of men, but you teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who is testing our hearts.

And he said to the judges, Take good heed what you do: for you judge not for man, but for the Lord, and with you are matters of judgment.

And if a matter shall be too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, and between cause and cause, and between stroke and stroke, and between contradiction and contradiction, matters of judgment in your cities;

And you shall do according to the sentence which they shall report to you out of the place in which the Lord your God shall choose, and you shall observe to do all things having been appointed to you by the law.

You will wear away with intolerable weariness, both you and all these people who are with you: this thing is hard, you will not be able to endure it by yourself.

And they shall judge the people at all times, and those matters too burdensome they shall bring to you, but they shall judge the smaller cases; so they shall relieve you and help you.

And they judged the people at all times; and every matter too burdensome they brought to Moses, but every light matter they judged themselves.
