Isaiah 5:23

“And you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of the just.

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

He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” Peoples will curse him, nations will be indignant with him;

So as to turn the poor away from their cause And rob the afflicted of My people of their justice, So that widows may be their spoil And that they may plunder the orphans.

As for a rogue, his weapons are evil; He counsels wicked schemes To wreak destruction on the afflicted with lying words, Even though the needy one speaks justly.

So it is that truth is missing; And he who turns aside from evil makes himself plunder. Then Yahweh saw, And it was evil in His eyes that there was no justice.

For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are mighty, You who distress the righteous and take bribes And turn aside the needy in the gate.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine-grower.
