Proverbs 15:27

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

"So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof."

"As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. sitteth...: or, gathereth young which she hath not brought forth"

"Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous."

"He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart."

"Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:"
