23 Your princes are stubborn and partners with thieves.+ Every one of them is a lover of a bribe+ and a chaser after gifts.+ For a fatherless boy they do not render judgment; and even the legal case of a widow does not get admittance to them.+

18 As for his father, because he committed outright defrauding,+ wrested something away in robbery of a brother,+ and whatever is not good he has done in the midst of his peoples,+ look! then he must die for his error.+

11 Her own head ones judge merely for a bribe,+ and her own priests instruct just for a price,+ and her own prophets practice divination simply for money;*+ yet upon Jehovah they keep supporting themselves, saying: “Is not Jehovah in the midst of us?+ There will come upon us no calamity.”+
