Deuteronomy 10:17 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:
Deuteronomy 16:19 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.
Exodus 23:7-
8 Keep thee
far from a false matter; and
the innocent and righteous slay thou not:
for I will not justify the wicked. ... And
thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth
the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Psalms 15:5 [
He that]
putteth not out his money to usury,
nor taketh reward against the innocent.
He that doeth these [
things] shall never be moved.
Proverbs 1:11-
29 If they say, Come with us,
let us lay wait for blood,
let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: ... For
that they hated knowledge, and did
not choose the fear of the LORD:
Ezekiel 22:12-
13 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. ... Behold, therefore
I have smitten mine hand at
thy dishonest gain which thou hast made,
and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
Micah 3:10-
11 They
build up Zion with
blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. ... The
heads thereof judge for reward,
and the priests thereof teach for hire,
and the prophets thereof divine for money:
yet will they lean upon the LORD,
and say, [
Is] not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.
Micah 7:2-
3 The
good [
man] is perished out of the earth: and [
there is] none upright among men:
they all lie in wait for blood; they
hunt every man his brother with a net. ... 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.
Matthew 26:15 And said [
unto them],
What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for
thirty pieces of silver.
Matthew 27:3-
4 Then
Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned,
repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, ... Saying,
I have sinned in that I have betrayed
the innocent blood. And they said,
What [
is that] to us?
see thou [
to that].
Acts 1:18 Now
this man purchased a field
with the reward of iniquity;
and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
