毋反其正、毋偏視人、毋受賄賂、蓋賄賂使明者目盲、義者詞屈、

勿受賄、蓋賄使明者目盲、義者詞屈、

惡者受人懷中之賄、以反義讞、

我轉觀日下所行之虐、見受虐者流涕、慰藉無人、行虐者有權、受虐者不得慰藉、

行賄者自視其物為寶玉、無往不利、

我在此、爾於耶和華及其受膏者前、可為我證、我曾強取何人之牛、刦奪何人之驢、欺侮何人、苛虐何人、受賕於何人之手、以蔽我目、若有、我必償之、

爾之土產、及爾勞而得者、將為爾所未識之民吞噬、爾惟受虐見迫、歷久如是、爾目所見、必致顚狂、

在此族中、不獲綏安、無有駐足之所、耶和華必使爾心慄目盲、精神衰敗、

其子不行父道、偏私牟利、受賄反正、○

爾之牧伯悖逆、黨於盜賊、好賄賂、索苞苴、不伸孤子之冤、不理嫠婦之訟、○

惟行義而言正、鄙視悖入之利、揮手不受賄賂、塞耳不聽流血之謀、閉目不睹邪惡之事、
