Verse 21

"To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread."

"The first line here is also found in Proverbs 24:23, referring there, as it does here, to the administration of justice."[23] See our comments there. "Some renditions here give the thought that a judge given to favoritism will swerve from the right decision upon the very smallest of temptations, `a crust of bread.'"[24] Kidner warned that, with regard to favoritism, "The preacher is just as vulnerable as the judge."[25]
