Job 32:21

For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes.

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

“ ‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.

he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

They judged the people at all times. They brought the hard cases to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

“You shall not follow a crowd to do evil. You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice.

“You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.

His sons didn’t walk in his ways, but turned away after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.

Achish answered David, “I know that you are good in my sight, as an angel of God. Notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’

He has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.

and said to the judges, “Consider what you do, for you don’t judge for man, but for Yahweh; and he is with you in the judgment.

They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.

Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”

“Therefore I have also made you contemptible and wicked before all the people, according to the way you have not kept my ways, but have had respect for persons in the law.

The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;

For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;

Let them judge the people at all times. It shall be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge themselves. So shall it be easier for you, and they shall share the load with you.

Here I am. Witness against me before Yahweh, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Of whose hand have I taken a bribe to make me blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”

Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”

To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice.

To show partiality is not good; yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.

Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding.

He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”

For there is no partiality with God.

Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,

knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts

“ ‘You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity.

You shall not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, nor take a widow’s clothing in pledge;

‘Cursed is he who withholds justice from the foreigner, fatherless, and widow.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this great people of yours?”

Will you show partiality to him? Will you contend for God?

Didn’t he who made me in the womb make him? Didn’t one fashion us in the womb?

He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor; for they all are the work of his hands.

“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?”

Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh.

to understand a proverb, and parables, the words and riddles of the wise.

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice.

The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe.

If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.

His delight will be in the fear of Yahweh. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears;

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you aren’t partial to anyone.

You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.”

You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

Then your servant said, ‘Please let the word of my lord the king bring rest; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad. May Yahweh, your God, be with you.’ ”

Your servant Joab has done this thing to change the face of the matter. My lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.”

He will surely reprove you if you secretly show partiality.

These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.

These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
