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.+

23 Your princes are stubborn and partners with thieves.+ Every one of them is a lover of a bribe+ and a chaser after gifts.+ For a fatherless boy they do not render judgment; and even the legal case of a widow does not get admittance to them.+

23 those who are pronouncing the wicked one righteous in consideration of a bribe,+ and who take away even the righteousness* of the righteous one* from him!+

12 A bribe they have taken in you for the purpose of shedding blood.+ Interest+ and usury you have taken,+ and you violently keep making gain+ of your companions with defrauding,+ and me you have forgotten,’+ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.
