^15 (A)“You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.

¹⁶ And I charged your judges at that time, ‘Hear the cases between your brothers, and ^(A)judge righteously between a man and his brother or the alien who is with him.

³ Thus says the Lord: ^(A)Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And ^(B)do no wrong or violence ^(C)to the resident alien, ^(D)the fatherless, and the widow, nor ^(E)shed innocent blood in this place.

²⁷ Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you: break off your sins by ^(A)practicing righteousness, ^(B)and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, ^(C)that there may perhaps be a lengthening of your prosperity.”

^24 (A)Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”
