23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,

but deny justice to the innocent.

23 Which justify the wicked for reward,

And take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

23 They take bribes to let the wicked go free,

and they punish the innocent.

23 Who justify the wicked for a bribe,

And take away justice from the righteous man!

23 They take money to set the guilty free

and don’t allow good people to be judged fairly.

23 that justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

23 who justify the wicked for a bribe, and turn away the righteousness of the righteous from them!

23 who declare the guilty innocent for a bribe, 

who take away the rights of righteous people. 

23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe

and deprive the innocent of justice.

23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,

and deprive the innocent of their rights!

23 Those who acquit the guilty because of a bribe

and remove the justice of the innocent from him.

23 How terrible for those

who take money to set guilty people free!

How terrible for those

who don’t treat good people fairly!

23 Who justify the wicked for a bribe,

And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!
