Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

You shall not distort justice; you shall not show favoritism, and you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
