Bible Quotes |
Do not spread false reports. Do
not help a wicked man by being a
malicious witness. Do not follow
the crowd in doing wrong. When you
give testimony in a lawsuit, do
not pervert justice by siding with
the crowd, and do not show favoritism to a poor man in his
lawsuit.
(Exodus 23:1,2)
Do not deny justice to your poor
people in their lawsuits. Have
nothing to do with a false charge
and do not put an innocent or
honest person to death, for I will
not acquit the guilty. "Do not
accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds
those who see and twists the words
of the righteous.
(Exodus 23:6-8)
" 'Do not defraud your neighbor or
rob him. " 'Do not hold back the
wages of a hired man overnight. "
'Do not curse the deaf or put a
stumbling block in front of the
blind, but fear your God. I am the
LORD. " 'Do not pervert justice;
do not show partiality to the poor
or favoritism to the great, but
judge your neighbor fairly.
(Leviticus 19:13-15)
Appoint
judges and officials for each of
your tribes in every town the LORD
your God is giving you, and they
shall judge the people fairly. Do
not pervert justice or show
partiality. Do not accept a bribe,
for a bribe blinds the eyes of the
wise and twists the words of the
righteous. Follow justice and
justice alone, so that you may
live and possess the land the LORD
your God is giving you.
(Deuteronomy 16:18-20)
When
men have a dispute, they are to
take it to court and the judges
will decide the case, acquitting
the innocent and condemning the
guilty. If the guilty man deserves
to be beaten, the judge shall make
him lie down and have him flogged
in his presence with the number of
lashes his crime deserves, but he
must not give him more than forty
lashes. If he is flogged more than
that, your brother will be
degraded in your eyes. Do not
muzzle an ox while it is treading
out the grain.
(Deuteronomy 25:1-4)
Before the LORD; for he cometh to
judge the earth: with
righteousness shall he judge the
world, and the people with equity.
(Psalm 98:9)
The king's strength also loveth
judgment; thou dost establish
equity, thou executest judgment
and righteousness in Jacob.
(Psalm 99:4)
A just weight and balance are the
LORD's: all the weights of the bag
are his work.
(Proverbs 16:11)
The king that faithfully judgeth
the poor, his throne shall be
established for ever.
(Proverbs 29:14)
And righteousness shall be the
girdle of his loins, and
faithfulness the girdle of his
reins.
(Isaiah 11:5)
