Thematic Bible: How not to judge


Thematic Bible





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 follow a crowd in wrongdoing. Do not testify in a lawsuit and go along with a crowd to pervert [justice]. Do not show favoritism to a poor person in his lawsuit.


Do not show partiality when deciding a case; listen to small and great alike. Do not be intimidated by anyone, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it.

It is not good to show partiality to the guilty
by perverting the justice due the innocent.

These sayings also belong to the wise:

It is not good to show partiality in judgment.
