12
Do not offer him a bribe, for he will not accept it; and do not trust to an unrighteous sacrifice; for the Lord is the judge, and with him is no partiality.
13
He will not show partiality in the case of a poor man; and he will listen to the prayer of one who is wronged.
14
He will not ignore the supplication of the fatherless, nor the widow when she pours out her story.
15
Do not the tears of the widow run down her cheek as she cries out against him who has caused them to fall?
16
He whose service is pleasing to the Lord will be accepted, and his prayer will reach to the clouds.
