NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ He appointed judges in the country, in each fortified city of Judah. ⁶ He told the judges: »Be careful when you make your decisions in court. Remember these are Jehovah’s people. He will know the judgements you decide. ⁷ »Do your work in honor of him and know that he will not allow you to be unfair to anyone or to take bribes.« ⁸ Jehoshaphat also appointed some Levites, some priests, and some of the family leaders to serve as judges in Jerusalem. ⁹ He told them: »Faithfully serve Jehovah! ¹⁰ »Warn your relatives living in other cities about every case they bring to you, even if the case involves bloodshed or commandments, rules, or regulations derived from the law. Then your relatives will not become guilty in front of Jehovah. Otherwise, he will become angry with you and your relatives. Do this and you will not be guilty of anything.
