'Partiality' in the Bible
So now let the fear (reverent awe) of the Lord be on you [to keep you from making unjust decisions]; be careful in what you do, for there is no injustice with the Lord our God, or partiality, or acceptance of a bribe.”
“Will you show partiality for Him [and be unjust to me so that you may gain favor with Him]?Will you contend and plead for God?
“He will surely reprimand youIf you secretly show partiality.
“I will not [I warn you] be partial to any man [that is, let my respect for you mitigate what I say];Nor flatter any man.
How long will you judge unjustlyAnd show partiality to the wicked? Selah.
These also are sayings of the wise:To show partiality in judgment is not good.
To have regard for one person over another and to show favoritism is not good,Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.
Their partiality testifies against them,They display their sin like Sodom;They do not even hide it.Woe (judgment is coming) to them!For they have brought evil on themselves [as a reward].
