You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous.<br \/>\nDeuteronomy 32:4 &#8220;The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hanging an innocent child when he&#8217;s been given a reprieve?
