Leviticus 19:15

Leviticus 19:15

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Justice is to be done to all. The less danger of respecting the person of the poor has to be guarded against, as well as the greater and more obvious peril of honouring the person of the mighty. The scales of Justice must be held even and her eyes bandaged, that she may not prefer one appellant to another on any ground except that of merit and demerit.

"If ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors" ().
