Words Of Wisdom - Biblical Quotations In Reggae Lyrics

Ron Wiseman - Bribes

Song Lyrics	Biblical Reference
Bribes blind the eyes of the wise	Deuteronomy 16:19 - Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
Just a taste you tell yourself, it's just one time, it's nothing more, then it's two, three and four... Bribes blind the eyes of the wise
Forbidden fruit it tastes so sweet,	Genesis 3:3 - But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. Leviticus 19:23 - And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of. Proverbs 9:17 - Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
you love to lie and tell yourself why, it's really meant to eat. Bribes blind the eyes of the wise. I'm talkin' about, I'm talkin' bribes, I'm talkin' about I'm talkin' about bribes! Everything is conditional, reactionable, fashionable, yeah I'm talkin' about bribes. Sometimes I feel blinded, Sometimes I don't feel too wise...
