They must not judge unjustly. They must not favor one person more than another. The judges must not accept bribes, because if a judge accepts a bribe, even if he is wise and honest, it will be very difficult for him to judge fairly [IDM]; he will do what the person who gave him the bribe wants him to do and declare that the righteous/innocent people must be punished.

Не извращай правосудие и будь беспристрастным. Не бери взятки, потому что взятка ослепляет глаза мудрецов и искажает слова праведников.
Заокская (Кулаков)
И сие да будет заповедью для них: правосудия не извращай, суди беспристрастно. Взяток не бери — они даже мудрых людей ослепляют и искажают слова правдивых.
СП (БЛ)
Будь всегда справедлив, не оказывай предпочтения одному перед другим, не бери денег за то, чтобы изменить своё суждение, так как деньги ослепляют разумного и искажают речи доброго.
