Shall not

For the Lord your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and taking no bribe.

Do not deny justice or show partiality to anyone. Do not accept a bribe, for it blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

“You must not act unjustly when deciding a case. Do not be partial to the poor or give preference to the rich; judge your neighbor fairly.

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or his stature, because I have rejected him. Man does not see what the Lord sees, for man sees what is visible, but the Lord sees the heart.”

We will certainly die and be like water poured out on the ground, which can’t be recovered. But God would not take away a life; He would devise plans so that the one banished from Him does not remain banished.

These sayings also belong to the wise:

It is not good to show partiality in judgment.

They questioned Him, “Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You don’t show partiality,

but teach truthfully the way of God.

Then Peter began to speak: “Now I really understand that God doesn’t show favoritism,

There is no favoritism with God.

And masters, treat your slaves the same way, without threatening them, because you know that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him.

For the wrongdoer will be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism.

>

My brothers, do not show favoritism as you hold on to the faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.

And if you address as Father the One who judges impartially based on each one’s work, you are to conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your temporary residence.

Ye shall hear

Do not show favoritism to a poor person in his lawsuit.

Here I am. Bring charges against me before the Lord and His anointed: Whose ox or donkey have I taken? Whom have I wronged or mistreated? From whose hand have I taken a bribe to overlook something?

I will return it to you.”

For you took collateral from your brothers without cause,
stripping off their clothes and leaving them naked.

When they heard me, they blessed me,
and when they saw me, they spoke well of me.

If I have dismissed the case of my male or female servants
when they made a complaint against me,

Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.

Don’t rob a poor man because he is poor,
and don’t crush the oppressed at the gate,

They have become fat and sleek.
They have also excelled in evil matters.
They have not taken up cases,
such as the case of the fatherless, so they might prosper,
and they have not defended the rights of the needy.

Therefore, because you trample on the poor
and exact a grain tax from him,
you will never live in the houses of cut stone
you have built;
you will never drink the wine
from the lush vineyards
you have planted.

Woe to those who dream up wickedness
and prepare evil plans on their beds!
At morning light they accomplish it
because the power is in their hands.

Then I said, “Now listen, leaders of Jacob,
you rulers of the house of Israel.
Aren’t you supposed to know what is just?

Both hands are good at accomplishing evil:
the official and the judge demand a bribe;
when the powerful man communicates his evil desire,
they plot it together.

For example, a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and a poor man dressed in dirty clothes also comes in.

Ye shall not

So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal. She sent the letters to the elders and nobles who lived with Naboth in his city.

because I greatly feared the crowds,
and the contempt of the clans terrified me,
so I grew silent and would not go outside?

The fear of man is a snare,
but the one who trusts in the Lord is protected.

“Now, get ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them or I will cause you to cower before them.

They sent their disciples to Him, with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God. You defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality.

When they came, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know You are truthful and defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality

but teach truthfully the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?

Instead, just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please men, but rather God, who examines our hearts.

The judgment

Then he said to the judges, “Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the matter of judgment.

The cause

“If a case is too difficult for you—concerning bloodshed, lawsuits, or assaults—cases disputed at your gates, you must go up to the place the Lord your God chooses.

“You will certainly wear out both yourself and these people who are with you, because the task is too heavy for you. You can’t do it alone.

Moses told the leaders of the Israelite tribes, “This is what the Lord has commanded:

Stop judging according to outward appearances; rather judge according to righteous judgment.”
