²¹ Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

²⁵ Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

¹⁰ In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

²³ Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

¹² 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.

³ 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.
