Deuteronomy 16:19; Proverbs 17:8

19 fYou shall not pervert justice. gYou shall not show partiality, hand you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous.


yA bribe is like a magic1 stone in the eyes of the one who gives it;

wherever he turns he prospers.
