6 Bible Verses about Bribery, Is Sin

“You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of the just.

Now then let the fear of the Lord be upon you; be very careful what you do, for the Lord our God will have no part in unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe.”

For the Lord your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.

A gift in secret subdues anger,
And a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.

“For the company of the godless is barren,
And fire consumes the tents of the corrupt.

‘Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to strike down an innocent person.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
