“Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!”
Isaiah 5:23 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 5:23
Judicial corruption—'justify the wicked for reward' and 'take away the righteousness of the righteous'—inverts justice, the very foundation of God's throne (Psalm 89:14). Accepting bribes to acquit the guilty while condemning the innocent violates explicit Torah prohibitions (Exodus 23:8; Deuteronomy 16:19). This perversion of justice particularly incenses God, as it directly opposes His character. The New Testament similarly condemns those who call evil good (Romans 1:32).
