Und kein Geschenk sollst du nehmen; denn das Geschenk blendet die Sehenden und verkehrt die Worte der Gerechten.
2 Mose 23:8
Arcana Coelestia # 9250
9250. To be a witness of violence. That this signifies no affirmation of such things as are contrary to the good of charity, is evident from the signification of “a witness,” as being confirmation (see n. 4197, 8908); and from the signification of “violence,” as being the destruction of the good of charity (n. 6353); thus “a witness of violence” denotes affirmation contrary to the good of charity.
