He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to Jehovah.

You shall not thrust aside the justice of your needy one in his dispute.

Keep yourself far away from a false matter; do not kill the innocent and righteous. For I will not justify the wicked.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away justice from the righteous!

For everyone from the least of them even to the greatest of them profits from unjust gain; and from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.

They have also healed the ruin of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

Therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall inherit them, for everyone from the least even to the greatest profits from unjust gain. From the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.

For they have healed the ruin of the daughter of My people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not pained; and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to restore his life.

He who holds back grain, the people curse him; but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it.

He who gives to the poor shall not lack, but he who hides his eyes shall have many a curse.

Do not accuse a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.

And they shall go out and observe the dead corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me. For their worm does not die, nor is their fire quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.
