Exodus 23:2

“You shall not cause the justice due to your needy brother to be turned aside in his case.

“You shall not distort justice; you shall not be partial, and you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, And I kept silent and did not go out of doors—

To show partiality to the wicked is not good, Nor to thrust aside the righteous in judgment.

“I gave them My statutes and made them know My judgments, which, if a man does them, he will live by them.
