Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.

The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.

Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.

For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
