Exodus 18:21

21 Moreover, look for ^aable men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.

Isaiah 33:15-16

15 ^bHe who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,
who despises the gain of oppressions,
who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe,
who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed
^cand shuts his eyes from looking on evil,
16 he will dwell on the heights;
his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks;
^dhis bread will be given him; his water will be sure.

Jeremiah 22:15-17

15 Do you think you are a king
because you compete in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink
and ^edo justice and righteousness?
^fThen it was well with him.
16 ^gHe judged the cause of the poor and needy;
^hthen it was well.
Is not this ⁱto know me?
declares the Lord.
17 But you have eyes and heart
only for your dishonest gain,
^jfor shedding innocent blood,
and for practicing oppression and violence.”
