Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you,.... And act as having that before your eyes, and on your hearts:
take heed and do it; do the commands enjoined them by him, and do judgment according to the law of God:
for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God; none in his nature, nor in his law; none commanded nor approved of by him, and therefore none should be done by his representatives in judgment:
nor respect of persons; whether high or low, rich or poor:
nor taking of gifts; he accepts not the faces of men, nor receives bribes, nor should his judges; this is forbidden by him, Deuteronomy 16:19.
