"Now therefore let the fear of Jehovah be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Jehovah our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes." — 2 Chronicles 19:7 (ASV)
Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you
And act as having that before your eyes, and on your hearts:
take heed and do it ;
do the commands enjoined them by him, and do judgment according to the law of God:
for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God ;
none in his nature, nor in his law; none commanded nor approved of by him, and therefore none should be done by his representatives in judgment:
nor respect of persons ;
whether high or low, rich or poor:
nor taking of gifts ;
he accepts not the faces of men, nor receives bribes, nor should his judges; this is forbidden by him, (Deuteronomy 16:19) .
