And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.

In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.
