2 Chronicles — Chapter 19


Verse 6

NON ENIM HOMINIS EXERCETIS JUDICIUM SED DOMINI — Jehoshaphat to the judges: \"You are God's vicars, appointed by Him to judge His people; He therefore will demand a strict account of justice rendered or neglected.\" Lapide: let princes and judges often meditate that they exercise God's judgment, and so judge as God Himself would judge.

Verse 7

NON EST ENIM APUD DOMINUM DEUM NOSTRUM INIQUITAS NEC PERSONARUM ACCEPTIO NEC CUPIDO MUNERUM — with God there is no perversity, no respect of persons, no desire of gifts. The model of perfect justice that earthly judges must imitate.
