15 “‘YOU people must not do injustice in the judgment. You must not treat the lowly with partiality,+ and you must not prefer the person of a great one.+ With justice you should judge your associate.

17 YOU must not be partial* in judgment.+ YOU should hear the little one the same as the great one.+ YOU must not become frightened because of a man,+ for the judgment belongs to God;+ and the case that is too hard for YOU, YOU should present to me, and I must hear it.’+

19 You must not pervert judgment.+ You must not be partial+ or accept a bribe, for the bribe blinds the eyes of wise ones+ and distorts the words of righteous ones.

7 And now let the dread+ of Jehovah come to be upon YOU.+ Be careful and act,+ for with Jehovah our God there is no unrighteousness+ or partiality+ or taking of a bribe.”+

21 I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus*+ and the chosen angels to keep these things without prejudgment, doing nothing according to a biased leaning.+

4 YOU have class distinctions among yourselves+ and YOU have become judges+ rendering wicked decisions,+ is that not so?

17 Furthermore, if YOU are calling upon the Father who judges impartially*+ according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves with fear+ during the time of YOUR alien residence.+
