Exodus 23:8⥂
KJV:
And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.

וְשֹׁ֖חַד לֹ֣א תִקָּ֑ח כִּ֤י הַשֹּׁ֙חַד֙ יְעַוֵּ֣ר פִּקְחִ֔ים וִֽיסַלֵּ֖ף דִּבְרֵ֥י צַדִּיקִֽים׃
