TSK · Isaiah 1:23

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

Wrest not thou the lawe, nor knowe any person, neither take any rewarde: for giftes do blinde the eyes of the wise, & peruert the wordes of the righteous.

And after the death of Iehoiada, came the lordes of Iuda and made obeysaunce to the king: And the king hearkened vnto them.

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

Learne to do well, applie your selues to equitie, deliuer the oppressed, helpe the fatherlesse to his ryght, let the widdowes complaynt come before you:

The Lorde shall enter into iudgement with the elders and princes of his people, and shall say to them: It is ye that haue burnt vp my vineyarde, the spoyle of the poore is in your houses.

All their wickednesse is done at Gilgall, there do I abhorre them: for the vngratiousnesse of their owne inuentions I wyll driue them out of my house, I wyll loue them no more, for all their princes are vnfaithfull.

(The heades therof iudge for rewards, and the priestes thereof teache for hyre, and the prophetes thereof prophecie for money: yet wyll they leane vpon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among vs? no euill can come vpon vs.)

Do the wydow, the fatherlesse, the straungers and poore no wrong, and let no man imagine euil against his brother in his heart.

And sayde vnto them, it is written: My house shalbe called the house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of thieues.

Saying: There was in a certayne citie, a iudge, whiche feared not God, neither regarded man.

And it came to passe on the morowe, that their rulers, and elders, & scribes,
