2 Chronicles 19:6-7

6 and he said to them, “Always think carefully before pronouncing judgment. Remember that you do not judge to please people but to please the LORD . He will be with you when you render the verdict in each case.
7 Fear the LORD and judge with integrity, for the LORD our God does not tolerate perverted justice, partiality, or the taking of bribes.”
