Deuteronomy 16:17-22 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

17. each shall give according to that which is in his power to give, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee.

18. Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes, that they may judge the people with just judgment.

19. Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

20. Perfect justice shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and possess the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee.

21. Thou shalt not plant thyself an Asherah of any wood near unto the altar of Jehovah thy God which thou shalt make thee.

22. Neither shalt thou set thee up a statue, which Jehovah thy God hateth.
