You should not unfairly choose his side against mine; you should not argue the case for God.
God would surely scold you if you unfairly took one person’s side.
I will be fair to everyone and not flatter anyone.
He is not nicer to princes than other people, nor kinder to rich people than poor people, because he made them all with his own hands.
These are also sayings of the wise: It is not good to take sides when you are the judge.
“ ‘Be fair in your judging. You must not show special favor to poor people or great people, but be fair when you judge your neighbor.
“You have not been careful to do what I say, but instead you take sides in court cases. So I have caused you to be hated and disgraced in front of everybody.”
