Tao Bible - 2 Samuel 3:39

And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: the LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
~ King James version ~

Tao passes no judgment.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
Newly crowned King David laments the murder of a countryman and declares that God will pass judgment on the murderer.

Judgment is based on making a valuation; Tao is impartial. Thus, judgments are the purview of humankind, not the Way.
