Exodus 23:8

Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.

In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have...

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.

That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
