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.
No debes torcer la justicia ni mostrar favoritismo a nadie, y no debes aceptar sobornos. Un soborno ciega hasta a los sabios y corrompe las palabras de los que hacen lo correcto.
La justicia debe ser imparcial y libre de sobornos porque estos corrompen incluso a las personas sabias y justas.

This verse specifically addresses judges and leaders, warning them against practices like bribery and favoritism that were prevalent in surrounding ancient Near Eastern cultures, as these could lead to unfair rulings and social instability. Such commands were crucial for maintaining the integrity of Israel's legal system, which was designed to reflect God's holiness and protect the vulnerable.
