A wicked [man] taketh a gift out of the bosom
Of another, of a rich man, who takes it out from thence, and
offers it to him as a bribe. This he takes in the most secret
manner, that it might not be seen by others; though the Arabic
version renders it, "he that receives a gift in his own bosom
commits iniquity"; it is true of both the giver and the receiver;
the one gives out of his bosom, and the other takes if from
thence, and puts it into his own, and both are wicked. And the
words are by some rendered, though it seems contrary to the
accents, "a gift out of the bosom of the wicked he will take"
F26; the unjust judge, who is bribed
with it: to pervert the ways of judgment;
to turn the course of justice, and hinder it from taking place;
favouring a bad cause, and pronouncing a wrong sentence, which is
wresting judgment.
