^17 (A)You shall not be partial in judgment. You shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be intimidated by anyone, for ^(B)the judgment is God's. And the case that is too hard for you, you shall ^(C)bring to me, and I will hear it.’

^19 (A)You shall not pervert justice. ^(B)You shall not show partiality, ^(C)and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous.
