And JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 returnedH7725 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965 to JerusalemH3389.
And JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 the seerH2374 went outH3318 to meetH6440 him, and saidH559 to kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Shouldest thou helpH5826 the ungodlyH7563, and loveH157 them that hateH8130 the LORDH3068? thereforeH2063 is wrathH7110 upon thee from beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
NeverthelessH61 there are goodH2896 thingsH1697 foundH4672 in thee, in that thou hast taken awayH1197 the grovesH842 out of the landH776, and hast preparedH3559 thine heartH3824 to seekH1875 GodH430.
And JehoshaphatH3092 dweltH3427 at JerusalemH3389: and he went outH3318 againH7725 through the peopleH5971 from BeershebaH884 to mountH2022 EphraimH669, and brought them backH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {he went…: Heb. he returned and went out}
And he setH5975 judgesH8199 in the landH776 throughout all the fencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, cityH5892 by cityH5892,
And saidH559 to the judgesH8199, Take heedH7200 what ye doH6213: for ye judgeH8199 not for manH120, but for the LORDH3068, who is with you in the judgmentH1697+H4941. {in…: Heb. in the matter of judgment}
Wherefore now let the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 be upon you; take heedH8104 and doH6213 it: for there is no iniquityH5766 with the LORDH3068 our GodH430, nor respectH4856 of personsH6440, nor takingH4727 of giftsH7810.
Moreover in JerusalemH3389 did JehoshaphatH3092 setH5975 of the LevitesH3881, and of the priestsH3548, and of the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, for the judgmentH4941 of the LORDH3068, and for controversiesH7379, when they returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
And he chargedH6680 them, sayingH559, Thus shall ye doH6213 in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068, faithfullyH530, and with a perfectH8003 heartH3824.
And what causeH7379 soever shall comeH935 to you of your brethrenH251 that dwellH3427 in their citiesH5892, between bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, between lawH8451 and commandmentH4687, statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, ye shall even warnH2094 them that they trespassH816 not against the LORDH3068, and so wrathH7110 come upon you, and upon your brethrenH251: thisH3541 doH6213, and ye shall not trespassH816.
And, behold, AmariahH568 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 is over you in all mattersH1697 of the LORDH3068; and ZebadiahH2069 the sonH1121 of IshmaelH3458, the rulerH5057 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, for all the king'sH4428 mattersH1697: also the LevitesH3881 shall be officersH7860 beforeH6440 you. DealH6213 courageouslyH2388, and the LORDH3068 shall be with the goodH2896. {Deal…: Heb. Take courage and do}

And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them the thirdH7992 dayH3117, This doH6213, and liveH2421; for I fearH3373 GodH430:
That be farH2486 from thee to doH6213 after this mannerH1697, to slayH4191 the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563: and that the righteousH6662 should be as the wickedH7563, that be farH2486 from thee: Shall not the JudgeH8199 of all the earthH776 doH6213 rightH4941?
For the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is GodH430 of godsH430, and LordH113 of lordsH113, a greatH1419 GodH410, a mightyH1368, and a terribleH3372, which regardethH5375 not personsH6440, nor takethH3947 rewardH7810:
And thou shalt takeH3947 no giftH7810: for the giftH7810 blindethH5786 the wiseH6493, and pervertethH5557 the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662. {the wise: Heb. the seeing}
Moreover thou shalt provideH2372 out of all the peopleH5971 ableH2428 menH582, such as fearH3373 GodH430, menH582 of truthH571, hatingH8130 covetousnessH1215; and placeH7760 such over them, to be rulersH8269 of thousandsH505, and rulersH8269 of hundredsH3967, rulersH8269 of fiftiesH2572, and rulersH8269 of tensH6235:
He is the RockH6697, his workH6467 is perfectH8549: for all his waysH1870 are judgmentH4941: a GodH410 of truthH530 and without iniquityH5766, justH6662 and rightH3477 is he.
He doth executeH6213 the judgmentH4941 of the fatherlessH3490 and widowH490, and lovethH157 the strangerH1616, in givingH5414 him foodH3899 and raimentH8071.
JudgesH8199 and officersH7860 shalt thou makeH5414 thee in all thy gatesH8179, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, throughout thy tribesH7626: and they shall judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 with justH6664 judgmentH4941.
And let them judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 at all seasonsH6256: and it shall be, that every greatH1419 matterH1697 they shall bringH935 unto thee, but every smallH6996 matterH1697 they shall judgeH8199: so shall it be easierH7043 for thyself, and they shall bearH5375 the burden with thee.
ButG1161 ifG1487 ourG2257 unrighteousnessG93 commendG4921 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316, whatG5101 shall we sayG2046+G3361? Is GodG2316 unrighteousG94 who takethG2018 vengeanceG3709? (I speakG3004 asG2596 a manG444)
How much less to him that acceptethH5375 not the personsH6440 of princesH8269, nor regardethH5234 the richH7771 more thanH6440 the poorH1800? for they all are the workH4639 of his handsH3027.
Thou shalt not wrestH5186 judgmentH4941; thou shalt not respectH5234 personsH6440, neither takeH3947 a giftH7810: for a giftH7810 doth blindH5786 the eyesH5869 of the wiseH2450, and pervertH5557 the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662. {words: or, matters}
And MosesH4872 choseH977 ableH2428 menH582 out of all IsraelH3478, and madeH5414 them headsH7218 over the peopleH5971, rulersH8269 of thousandsH505, rulersH8269 of hundredsH3967, rulersH8269 of fiftiesH2572, and rulersH8269 of tensH6235.
AndG2532 they sent outG649 unto himG846 theirG846 disciplesG3101 withG3326 the HerodiansG2265, sayingG3004, MasterG1320, we knowG1492 thatG3754 thou artG1488 trueG227, andG2532 teachestG1321 the wayG3598 of GodG2316 inG1722 truthG225+G2532, neitherG3756 carestG3199 thouG4671 forG4012 anyG3762 man: forG1063 thou regardestG991 notG1519+G3756 the personG4383 of menG444.
Thy princesH8269 are rebelliousH5637, and companionsH2270 of thievesH1590: every one lovethH157 giftsH7810, and followethH7291 after rewardsH8021: they judgeH8199 not the fatherlessH3490, neither doth the causeH7379 of the widowH490 comeH935 unto them.
And they judgedH8199 the peopleH5971 at all seasonsH6256: the hardH7186 causesH1697 they broughtH935 unto MosesH4872, but every smallH6996 matterH1697+H1992 they judgedH8199 themselves.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767+G3361? Is there unrighteousnessG93 withG3844 GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 openedG455 his mouthG4750, and saidG2036, OfG1909 a truthG225 I perceiveG2638 thatG3754 GodG2316 isG2076 noG3756 respecter of personsG4381:
He that walkethH1980 righteouslyH6666, and speakethH1696 uprightlyH4339; he that despisethH3988 the gainH1215 of oppressionsH4642, that shakethH5287 his handsH3709 from holdingH8551 of bribesH7810, that stoppethH331 his earsH241 from hearingH8085 of bloodH1818, and shuttethH6105 his eyesH5869 from seeingH7200 evilH7451; {righteously: Heb. in righteousnesses} {uprightly: Heb. uprightnesses} {oppressions: or, deceits} {blood: Heb. bloods}
But the formerH7223 governorsH6346 that had been beforeH6440 me were chargeableH3513 unto the peopleH5971, and had takenH3947 of them breadH3899 and wineH3196, besideH310 fortyH705 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701; yea, evenH1571 their servantsH5288 bare ruleH7980 over the peopleH5971: but so didH6213 not I, becauseH6440 of the fearH3374 of GodH430.
That they may do evilH7451 with both handsH3709 earnestlyH3190, the princeH8269 askethH7592, and the judgeH8199 asketh for a rewardH7966; and the greatH1419 man, he utterethH1696 his mischievousH1942 desireH5315: so they wrap it upH5686. {his…: Heb. the mischief of his soul}
Thy princesH8269 are rebelliousH5637, and companionsH2270 of thievesH1590: every one lovethH157 giftsH7810, and followethH7291 after rewardsH8021: they judgeH8199 not the fatherlessH3490, neither doth the causeH7379 of the widowH490 comeH935 unto them.
Therefore saithH5002 the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the mighty OneH46 of IsraelH3478, AhH1945, I will easeH5162 me of mine adversariesH6862, and avengeH5358 me of mine enemiesH341:
And I will turnH7725 my handH3027 upon thee, and purelyH1253 purge awayH6884 thy drossH5509, and take awayH5493 all thy tinH913: {purely: Heb. according to pureness}
And I will restoreH7725 thy judgesH8199 as at the firstH7223, and thy counsellorsH3289 as at the beginningH8462: afterwardH310 thou shalt be calledH7121, The cityH5892 of righteousnessH6664, the faithfulH539 cityH7151.
ButG1161 ofG575 these who seemedG1380 to beG1511 somewhatG5100, (whatsoeverG3697+G4218 they wereG2258, it makethG1308 noG3762 matterG1308 to meG3427: GodG2316 acceptethG2983 noG3756 man'sG444 personG4383:) forG1063 they who seemedG1380 to be somewhat in conference addedG4323 nothingG3762 to meG1698:
AndG2532, ye mastersG2962, doG4160 the same thingsG846 untoG4314 themG846, forbearingG447 threateningG547: knowingG1492 thatG3754 yourG5216+G846 MasterG2962 alsoG2532 isG2076 inG1722 heavenG3772; neitherG2532+G3756 is thereG2076 respect of personsG4382 withG3844 himG846. {forbearing: or, moderating} {your…: some read, both your and their Master}
