²¹ Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

¹⁵ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

¹⁷ 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:

²⁵ Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

³⁴ For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

¹⁸ Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.

¹⁰ In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

³⁵ He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

²⁷ He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

⁸ A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
