- ગુજરાતી — પુનર્નિયમ ૧૬:૧૯
- તમે ન્યાય માટે બળજબરી ન કરો, પક્ષપાત ન કર, લાંચ ન લો, કેમ કે લાંચ જ્ઞાની આંખોને અંધ બનાવી દે છે અને ન્યાયી માણસોના વચનો ખોટા કરી નાખે છે.
- हिन्दी — व्यवस्थाविवरण १६:१९
- तुम न्याय न बिगाड़ना; तू न तो पक्षपात करना; और न तो घूस लेना, क्योंकि घूस बुद्धिमान की आँखें अंधी कर देती है, और धर्मियों की बातें पलट देती है।
