It is not good H2896 to accept H5375 the person H6440 of the wicked, H7563 to overthrow H5186 the righteous H6662 in judgment. H4941

These H428 things also H1571 belong to the wise. H2450 It is not good H2896 to have respect H5234 of persons H6440 in judgment. H4941

You shall not follow H1961 H310 a multitude H7227 to do evil; H7451 neither H3808 shall you speak H6030 in a cause H7379 to decline H5186 after H310 many H7227 to wrest H5186 judgment:

And you shall take H3947 no H3808 gift: H7810 for the gift H7810 blinds H5786 the wise, H6493 and perverts H5557 the words H1697 of the righteous. H6662

And will you pollute H2490 me among H413 my people H5971 for handfuls H8168 of barley H8184 and for pieces H6595 of bread, H3899 to slay H4191 the souls H5315 that should not die, H4191 and to save H2421 the souls H5315 alive H2421 that should not live, H2421 by your lying H3576 to my people H5971 that hear H8085 your lies? H3576

Their drink H5435 is sour: H5493 they have committed H2181 prostitution H2181 continually: her rulers H4043 with shame H7036 do love, H157 Give H3051 you.

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 concerning H5921 the prophets H5030 that make my people H5971 err, H8582 that bite H5391 with their teeth, H8127 and cry, H7121 Peace; H7965 and he that puts H5414 not into H5921 their mouths, H6310 they even prepare H6942 war H4421 against H5921 him.

That they may do evil H7451 with both hands H3709 earnestly, H3190 the prince H8269 asks, H7592 and the judge H8199 asks H7592 for a reward; H7966 and the great H1419 man, he utters H1696 his mischievous H1942 desire: H5315 so they wrap H5686 it up.

For they that are such G5108 serve G1398 not our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 but their own G1438 belly; G2836 and by good G5542 words G5542 and fair G2129 speeches G2129 deceive G1818 the hearts G2588 of the simple. G172

And through G1722 covetousness G4124 shall they with feigned G4112 words G3056 make G1710 merchandise of you: whose G3739 judgment G2917 now of a long time G1597 lingers G691 not, and their damnation G684 slumbers G3573 not.
