6He said to the judges, 'Consider carefully what you do, because you are not judging for mere mortals, but for the LORD, who is with you whenever you give a judgment.'
7Now let the fear of the LORD be upon you. Be careful and act, for with the LORD our God there is no injustice, partiality, or taking of bribes.
8In Jerusalem also, Jehoshaphat appointed some of the Levites, priests, and heads of the Israelite families to administer the law of the LORD and settle disputes. And they lived in Jerusalem.
9He gave them these orders: 'You must act in the fear of the LORD, faithfully and with a whole heart.'
10Whatever case comes to you from your fellow Israelites living in their cities—whether of bloodshed or other matters of the law, commands, statutes, or decrees—you are to warn them not to sin against the LORD; otherwise, His wrath will come upon you and your people. Do this, and you will not sin.
