Isaiah 5:23

²to deprive the needy of justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!

⁶You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.

²¹They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

¹⁵He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.

⁴It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’ ⁵lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.

¹¹Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money; yet they lean on the LORD, and say, “Isn’t the LORD among us? No disaster will come on us.”

²³Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards. They don’t defend the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.

³Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe. The powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.

⁷Now therefore let the fear of the LORD be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”

²³A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice.
