Thematic Bible: How not to judge


Thematic Bible





Thou shalt not twist that which is right; thou shalt not respect persons neither take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause hiding behind many to wrest judgment; neither shalt thou honour a poor man in his cause.


Ye shall not respect persons in judgment, but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's; and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.

To respect the person of the wicked so that the righteous loses that which is rightfully his is not good.

These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
