'Judge' in the Bible

“By me princes rule, and nobles,All who judge rightly.

The man who first puts his cause before the judge seems to be in the right; but then his neighbour comes and puts his cause in its true light.

A king sitting on a throne to judgesifts out all evil with his eyes.

[The judge tells the creditor], “Take the clothes of one who is surety for a stranger;And hold him in pledge [when he guarantees a loan] for foreigners.”

Do not take away the property of the poor man because he is poor, or be cruel to the crushed ones when they come before the judge:

By patience and a calm spirit a ruler may be persuaded,And a soft and gentle tongue breaks the bone [of resistance].

[The judge tells the creditor,] “Take the garment of one who is surety (guarantees a loan) for a stranger;And hold him in pledge when he is surety for an immoral woman [for it is unlikely the debt will be repaid].”

The king who is a true judge in the cause of the poor, will be safe for ever on the seat of his power.

Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
