He who declares the wrong right, And he who condemns the righteous, Both of them are an abomination to יהוה.
It is not good to show partiality to the wrong, Or to turn aside the righteous in right-ruling.
Woe to the mighty to drink wine, and brave men to mix strong drink,
who declare right the wrong for a bribe, and the righteousness of the righteous they turn aside from him!
Do not drink wine or strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of Appointment, lest you die – a law forever throughout your generations,”
“And also, because wine betrays him, a man is proud, and he does not stay at home. Because he enlarges his appetite as She’ol, and he is like death, and is not satisfied, and gathers to himself all nations and heaps up for himself all peoples.
“Do not distort right-ruling. Do not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
