TSK · Isaiah 1:23

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

You shall not wrest justice: you shall not respect persons; neither shall you take a bribe; for a bribe does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king listened to them.

Their drink has become sour. They play the prostitute continually. Her rulers dearly love their shameful way.

"All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house! I will love them no more. All their princes are rebels.

Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money: yet they lean on Yahweh, and say, "Isn't Yahweh in the midst of us? No disaster will come on us."

Don't oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.'

He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers!"

saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who didn't fear God, and didn't respect man.
