Deuteronomy 1:16-17
1:16 I furthermore admonished your judges at that time that they
should pay attention to issues among your fellow citizens
and judge fairly,
whether between one citizen and another
or a citizen and a resident foreigner.
1:17 They
must not discriminate in judgment, but hear the lowly
and the great alike. Nor should they be intimidated by human beings, for judgment belongs to God. If the matter being adjudicated is too difficult for them, they should bring it before me for a hearing.
Deuteronomy 9:28
9:28 Otherwise the people of the land
from which you brought us will say, “The
Lord was unable to bring them to the land he promised them, and because of his hatred for them he has brought them out to kill them in the desert.”
Isaiah 31:1-3
Egypt Will Disappoint
31:1 Those who go down to Egypt for help are as good as dead,
those who rely on war horses,
and trust in Egypt’s many chariots
and in their many, many horsemen.
But they do not rely on the Holy One of Israel
and do not seek help from the Lord.
31:2 Yet he too is wise and he will bring disaster;
he does not retract his decree.
He will attack the wicked nation,
and the nation that helps those who commit sin.
31:3 The Egyptians are mere humans, not God;
their horses are made of flesh, not spirit.
The Lord will strike with his hand;
the one who helps will stumble
and the one being helped will fall.
Together they will perish.
Isaiah 36:9
36:9 Certainly you will not refuse one of my master’s minor officials and trust in Egypt for chariots and horsemen.
