TSK · Acts 24:26

Thou shalt take no gyftes: for gyftes blinde the seyng, and peruert the wordes of the righteous.

And his sonnes walked not in his wayes, but turned aside after lucre, and tooke rewarde, and peruerted the ryght.

Wherfore now let the feare of the Lord be vpon you, and take heede, & be doyng the thing that pleaseth hym for there is no vnrighteousnes with the Lorde our God, that he shoulde haue any respect of persons, or take rewardes.

O gather not my soule with sinners: nor my life with bloodie men.

The vngodly taketh gyftes out of the bosome, to wrest the wayes of iudgement.

With true iudgement the kyng stablissheth the lande: but yf he be a man that oppresse the people with gatherynges, he turneth it vpside downe.

He that leadeth a godly life, and speaketh the trueth, he that abhorreth gaynes by violence and deceipt, he that kepeth his hande that he touche no rewarde, which stoppeth his eares that he heare no counsayle agaynst the innocent blood, which holdeth downe his eyes that he see no euyll:

Thy rulers in thee are lyke woolues rauenyng the pray, to shed blood, and destroy soules, for their owne couetous lucre.

Their drunkennesse stinketh, they haue committed whordome: their rulers loue to say with shame, Bryng ye.

Thus sayth the Lorde, For three wickednesses of Israel, and for foure I wil not spare hym: because they solde the righteous for siluer, and the poore for a paire of shoes.

Yet they say they do wel, when they do euyll: the prince asketh, and the iudge iudgeth for a rewarde, therfore the great man speaketh out of the corruption of his soule, and so they wrappe it vp.

Nowe after many yeres, I came and brought almes to my nation, and offerynges:

For this ye knowe, that no whoremonger, neither vncleane person, nor couetous person, which is a worshipper of images, hath any inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Christe, and of God.

And through couetousnesse, shall they with fayned wordes make marchaudize of you, whose iudgement is nowe not farre of, and their damnation sleepeth not.
