And after three months, it happened. It was told to Judah, saying, Your daughter- in-law Tamar has committed adultery, and also, behold, she is pregnant by fornication. And Judah said, Bring her out and let her be burned.
But you trusted in your beauty, and you prostituted yourself because of your name, and poured out your fornications on all who passed by; it was to him!
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruit in the fig tree at its beginning. They came to Baal-peor and separated to shame. And they became detestable things like that which they loved.
For I know your transgressions are many, and numerous are your sins: oppressing the righteous ones, taking of a bribe, and turning aside the needy ones in the gate.
Her heads judge for a bribe, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets divine for silver; yet they will lean on Jehovah, saying, Is not Jehovah in our midst? Evil shall not come on us!
Both palms are on evil, to do it well. The ruler is asking for a bribe, also the judge. And the great man speaks the lust of his soul; he acts, and they weave it together.
You shall not pervert judgment. You shall not regard faces, and you shall not take a bribe; for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous ones.
