AΩ
19

You are not to be moved in your judging by a man's position, you are not to take rewards; for rewards make the eyes of the wise man blind, and the decisions of the upright false.

Deuteronomy 16:19 · BBE

Translations

ASV

Thou shalt not wrest justice: thou shalt not respect persons; neither shalt thou take a bribe; for a bribe doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

BBE

You are not to be moved in your judging by a man's position, you are not to take rewards; for rewards make the eyes of the wise man blind, and the decisions of the upright false.

GRK

Δεν θελεις διαστρεψει κρισιν· δεν θελεις αποβλεπει εις προσωπον ουδε θελεις λαμβανει δωρον· διοτι το δωρον τυφλονει τους οφθαλμους των σοφων και διαφθειρει τους λογους των δικαιων.

KJV

Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
