Psalm 26:10

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.

And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

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.

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

Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

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.

For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
