6 and said to the judges, “Consider what you do, ^rfor you judge not for man but for the Lord. He is with you in giving judgment. 7 Now then, let the fear of the Lord be upon you. Be careful what you do, for ^sthere is no injustice with the Lord our God, ^tor partiality or taking bribes.”

8 Moreover, in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat ^uappointed certain Levites and priests and heads of families of Israel, ^vto give judgment for the Lord and to decide disputed cases. They had their seat at Jerusalem. 9 And he charged them: ^w“Thus you shall do in the fear of the Lord, in faithfulness, ^xand with your whole heart: 10 ^ywhenever a case comes to you from your brothers who live in their cities, concerning bloodshed, law or commandment, statutes or rules, then you shall warn them, that they may not incur guilt before the Lord and ^zwrath may not come upon you and your brothers. Thus you shall do, and you will not incur guilt.
