Bribery

And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.

The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
