'Extortion' in the Bible

Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding.

Won't all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, 'Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?'
