Social duties » Of impartiality » Partiality forbidden
With God as my witness, as well as the Messiah Jesus and the chosen angels, I solemnly call on you to carry out these instructions without prejudice, doing nothing on the basis of partiality.
"You are not to be unjust in deciding a case. You are not to show partiality to the poor or honor the great. Instead, decide the case of your neighbor with righteousness."
When you hold a hearing, don't be partial in judgment toward the least important or toward the great. Never fear men, because judgment belongs to God. If the matter is difficult for you, bring it to me for a hearing.'
These people are complainers and faultfinders, following their own desires. They say arrogant things and flatter people in order to take advantage of them.
Here are some more proverbs from wise people: It isn't good to show partiality in judgment.
"So I also made you despised, humiliating you before all of the people, because you aren't following my ways and are showing partiality when you teach."
then you will have made false distinctions among yourselves and will have judged from evil motives, will you not?
