He appointed judges throughout the nation in all the fortified towns, and he said to them, “Always think carefully before pronouncing judgment. Remember that you do not judge to please people but to please the Lord. He will be with you when you render the verdict in each case.  Fear the Lord and judge with integrity, for the Lord our God does not tolerate perverted justice, partiality, or the taking of bribes.”

“You must always act in the fear of the Lord, with faithfulness and an undivided heart.

Take courage as you fulfill your duties, and may the Lord be with those who do what is right.”

2 Chronicles 19 (NLT)
