Bible Comments

Justify the wicked for reward; not by mistake or incogitancy, but wilfully for bribes. Take away the righteousness of the righteous from him, to wit, juridically; they pronounce sentence against him, as if he and his cause were unjust.

Isaiah 5:23

23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
