Ben Sira 7:6

Listen to Ben Sira 7:6
6 Do not seek to become a judge, or you may be unable to root out injustice; you may be partial to the powerful, and so mar your integrity.

Ben Sira 7:6 In-Context

4 Do not seek from the Lord high office, or the seat of honor from the king.
5 Do not assert your righteousness before the Lord, or display your wisdom before the king.
6 Do not seek to become a judge, or you may be unable to root out injustice; you may be partial to the powerful, and so mar your integrity.
7 Commit no offense against the public, and do not disgrace yourself among the people.
8 Do not commit a sin twice; not even for one will you go unpunished.
