21 But you yourself should select out of all the people capable men,+ fearing God,+ trustworthy* men,+ hating unjust profit;+ and you must set these over them as chiefs* over thousands,*+ chiefs over hundreds,* chiefs over fifties and chiefs over tens.*+

7 And now let the dread+ of Jehovah come to be upon YOU.+ Be careful and act,+ for with Jehovah our God there is no unrighteousness+ or partiality+ or taking of a bribe.”+

15 As for the former governors that were prior to me, they had made it heavy upon the people, and they kept taking from them for bread and wine daily* forty silver shekels.* Also, their attendants themselves domineered over the people.+ As for me, I did not do that way+ on account of the fear of God.+

3 and there will be enjoyment by him in the fear of Jehovah.+

And he will not judge by any mere appearance to his eyes, nor reprove simply according to the thing heard by his ears.+
