Thematic Bible: What gifts (bribes) do


Thematic Bible




You shall not wrest justice: you shall not respect persons; neither shall you take a bribe; for a bribe does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.

Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding.
