The judges of the Hebrews were directed to give sentence strictly according to truth and justice, without regard to the comparative wealth, influence or other advantage of one party over the other, Le 19:15De 16:17Pr 24:23. Thus God judges, not according to outward appearance or station, but according to the heart, Ac 10:34Ro 2:6-11. Thus ought men to estimate and treat their fellow men; and to court the favor of the rich and influential is sharply censured in Scripture, Pr 28:21Jas 2:1-9Jude 1:16.
