"You shall not pervertthe justice[due] to your needy[brother] in his dispute.
To showpartialityto the wickedis not good,[Nor] to thrustasidethe righteousin judgment.
Do not robthe poorbecausehe is poor,Or crushthe afflictedat the gate;
Woeto those who enactevilstatutesAnd to those who constantly recordunjustdecisions,
You shall donoinjusticein judgment;you shall not be partialto the poornordeferto the great,but you are to judgeyour neighborfairly.
For I knowyour transgressionsare manyand your sinsare great,[You] who distressthe righteous[and] acceptbribesAnd turnasidethe poorin the gate.
You shall not showpartialityin judgment;you shall hearthe smalland the greatalike. You shall not fearman,for the judgmentis God's.The casethat is toohardfor you, you shall bringto me, and I will hearit.'
