You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.”

ગુજરાતીપુનર્નિયમ ૧:૧૭
ન્યાય કરતી વખતે તમારે આંખની શરમ રાખવી નહિ; નાના તથા મોટા સૌનું સરખી રીતે સાંભળવું. માણસનું મોં જોઈને તમારે બીવું નહિ, કેમ કે ન્યાય કરવો એ ઈશ્વરનું કામ છે. જો કોઈ મુકદમો તમને અઘરો લાગે તો તે તમારે મારી પાસે લાવવો એટલે તે હું સંભાળીશ.
हिन्दीव्यवस्थाविवरण १:१७
न्याय करते समय किसी का पक्ष न करना; जैसे बड़े की वैसे ही छोटे मनुष्य की भी सुनना; किसी का मुँह देखकर न डरना, क्योंकि न्याय परमेश्वर का काम है; और जो मुकद्दमा तुम्हारे लिये कठिन हो, वह मेरे पास ले आना, और मैं उसे सुनूँगा।’ (याकू. 2:9)
