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

The wicked take secret bribes to pervert the course of justice.

A secret gift calms anger; a bribe under the table pacifies fury.

“ My brother, I have plenty,” Esau answered.“ Keep what you have for yourself.”But Jacob insisted,“ No, if I have found favor with you, please accept this gift from me.

When David had gone a little beyond the summit of the Mount of Olives, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, was waiting there for him. He had two donkeys loaded with 200 loaves of bread, 100 clusters of raisins, 100 bunches of summer fruit, and a wineskin full of wine.“ What are these for?” the king asked Ziba. Ziba replied,“ The donkeys are for the king’s people to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat. The wine is for those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”“ And where is Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson?” the king asked him.“ He stayed in Jerusalem,” Ziba replied.“ He said,‘ Today I will get back the kingdom of my grandfather Saul.’”“ In that case,” the king told Ziba,“ I give you everything Mephibosheth owns.”“ I bow before you,” Ziba replied.“ May I always be pleasing to you, my lord the king.”

The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic.

For I know the vast number of your sins and the depth of your rebellions. You oppress good people by taking bribes and deprive the poor of justice in the courts.

You must never twist justice or show partiality. Never accept a bribe, for bribes blind the eyes of the wise and corrupt the decisions of the godly.
