2 Chronicles 19:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ He also appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah.

⁶ Jehoshaphat said to the judges: “Pay careful attention to what you are doing. You are to judge not on behalf of human beings but on behalf of the Lord, who will be with you when you pronounce sentence. ⁷ Now let the fear of the Lord be upon you. Be careful in your judgments, for the Lord, our God, will not tolerate the perversion of justice, or partiality, or the taking of bribes.”
