'Blinds' in the Bible

You must not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and corrupts the words of the righteous.

Do not deny justice or show partiality to anyone. Do not accept a bribe, for it blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none [for his ears are closed to wisdom],But knowledge is easy for one who understands [because he is willing to learn].
