Isaiah 1:23 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 23 Your princes are stubborn and partners with thieves.+ Every one of them loves a bribe and chases after gifts.+ They do not grant justice to the fatherless,*And the legal case of the widow never reaches them.+ Isaiah 5:20 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 20 Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good,+Those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness,Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:23 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 23 Those who acquit the wicked for a bribe+And who deny justice to the righteous!+ Ezekiel 22:12 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 12 Within you they take a bribe to shed blood.+ You lend on interest+ or for a profit,* and you extort money from your neighbors.+ Yes, you have entirely forgotten me,’ declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.
