你不可屈枉正直；不可看人的外貌；不可收受賄賂，因為賄賂能使智慧人的眼變瞎，能使義人的案件顛倒。

他不將銀錢放債取利，也不受賄賂以害無辜。行這些事的人必永不動搖。

你並且要從眾民之間物色有才德敬畏上帝的人、可信可靠、恨惡不義之財的人，設立他們為千夫長、百夫長、五十夫長、十夫長，去管理眾民；

不可受賄賂，因為賄賂能使明眼人變瞎，又能顛倒義人的案件。

難道你熱心於香柏木之建築以爭勝，就可以顯王者的派頭麼？你父親不是也喫也喝，也秉公行義麼？那時他真享福啊！他為困苦和貧窮人伸訴；那時他真有福啊！認識我、不就在於此麼？永恆主發神諭說。但你的眼你的心卻不顧別的，只顧你的不義之財，逕流無辜人之血，直行欺壓人壓制人的事。

瑪拿西登極的時候十二歲；他在耶路撒冷作王五十五年。他母親名叫協西巴。瑪拿西行永恆主所看為壞的事，照永恆主從以色列人面前所趕出的外國人所行可厭惡的事去行。他重新建築了他父親希西家所毁壞的邱壇，又為外國神巴力立了幾座祭壇，又造了一根亞舍拉神木，像以色列王亞哈所行的，並且敬拜事奉了天上的萬象。
