2 Chronicles 19:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Jehoshaphat appointed judges in the land. He put them in all the cities of Judah that had high walls around them. ⁶ He told the judges, “Think carefully about what you do. After all, you aren’t judging for human beings. You are judging for the Lord. He’s with you every time you make a decision. ⁷ Have respect for the Lord. Judge carefully. He is always right. He treats everyone the same. Our God doesn’t want his judges to take money from people who want special favors.”
