Deuteronomy 16:19 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Wrest judgment — Not give an unjust sentence. A gift doth blind the eyes — Biasseth his mind, that he cannot discern between right and wrong. The words — That is the sentence, of those judges who are used to do righteous things, it makes them give wrong judgment.

Deuteronomy 16:19

19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the wordsd of the righteous.
