Those who justify the impious, and those who condemn the just, both are abominable with God.
It is not good to accept the character of the impious, so as to turn away from true judgment.
Woe to you who are powerful at drinking wine, who are strong men in contriving inebriation!
For you justify an impious man in exchange for bribes, and you carry away the justice of a just man from him.
"You shall not drink wine, nor anything that is able to inebriate you or your sons, when you enter into the tabernacle of the testimony, lest you die. For it is an everlasting precept in your generations.
And in the manner that wine deceives the heavy drinker, so will the arrogant man be deceived, and he will not be honored. He has enlarged his life like hellfire, and himself like death, and he is never fulfilled. And he will gather to himself all nations, and he will amass for himself all peoples.
and not so as to show favoritism to either side. You shall not accept a person's reputation, nor gifts. For gifts blind the eyes of the wise and alter the words of the just.
