3 And his sons did not walk in his ways,+ but they were inclined to follow unjust profit+ and would accept a bribe+ and pervert judgment.+

3 Here I am. Answer against me in front of Jehovah and in front of his anointed+ one:* Whose bull have I taken or whose ass have I taken+ or whom have I defrauded or* whom have I crushed or from whose hand have I accepted hush money* that I should hide my eyes with it?*+ And I shall make restoration to YOU people.”+

23 One who is wicked will take even a bribe from the bosom+ to bend the paths of judgment.+

7 For mere oppression may make a wise one act crazy,+ and a gift+ can destroy the heart.+
