“ Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the innocent.

And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.

“ Take no bribes, for a bribe makes you ignore something that you clearly see. A bribe makes even a righteous person twist the truth.

You must not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and corrupts the words of the righteous.

Do what is right. Treat everyone the same. Don’t take money from people who want special favors. It makes those who are wise close their eyes to the truth. It twists the words of those who have done nothing wrong.

How terrible for those who take money to set guilty people free! How terrible for those who don’t treat good people fairly!

Anyone who does wrong accepts favors in secret. Then they turn what is right into what is wrong.

Those who always want more bring ruin to their households. But a person who refuses to be paid to lie will live.

But his sons didn’t live as he did. They were only interested in making money. They accepted money from people who wanted special favors. They made things that were wrong appear to be right.

Their hands are always planning to do evil. Their right hands are full of money that has bought their help.

When a wise person takes wealth by force, they become foolish. It is sinful to take money from people who want special favors.

Those who give money think it will buy them favors. They think that no matter where they turn, they will succeed.

Wealth brings many friends. But even the closest friend of a poor person abandons them.

Here I stand. Bring charges against me if you can. The Lord is a witness. And so is his anointed king. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Have I cheated anyone? Have I treated anyone badly? Have I accepted money from anyone who wanted special favors? If I’ve done any of these things, I’ll make it right.”

I know how many crimes you have committed. You have sinned far too much. Among you are people who crush those who have done no wrong. They accept money from people who want special favors. They take away the rights of poor people in the courts.

They are very good at doing what is evil. Rulers require gifts. Judges accept money from people who want special favors. Those who are powerful always get what they want. All of them make evil plans together.

The Lord your God is the greatest God of all. He is the greatest Lord of all. He is the great God. He is mighty and wonderful. He treats everyone the same. He doesn’t accept any money from those who want special favors.

You accept money from people who want special favors. You do this to spill someone’s blood. You charge interest to poor people when you lend them money. You make money from them. You get rich by cheating your neighbors. And you have forgotten me,” announces the Lord and King.

Stop bringing offerings that do not mean anything to me! I hate your incense. I can’t stand your worthless gatherings. I can’t stand the way you celebrate your New Moon feasts, Sabbath days and special services.

They continue to be unfaithful to me even when their drinks are gone. And their rulers love to do shameful things.
