To prevent justice

Pervert justice and judge unjustly. Show favoritism in judgment over injustice. Judge contrary to justice.

("You shall not pervert judgment, you shall not respect persons, and you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous" - Deuteronomy 16:19, and so on: "The righteous shall be persecuted - and every judge who takes a bribe and perverts justice shall not die from old age until his eyes fail" - Peah 8:9, and so on: "I am disqualified for you to judge, because the judgment of Baal is "Your law is for your good" - Agnon/ City and All Its Fullness, 213, and so: "For even the Gentiles are commanded concerning the laws, and yet I give gifts to the heart, that they may turn away from judgment" - Sha'i Agnon/ In the Blood of Her Days)
