Deuteronomy 16:18-22 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

18. Thou shalt appoint judges and magistrates in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, in all thy tribes: that they may judge the people with just judgment,

19. And not go aside to either part. Thou shalt not accept person nor gifts: for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and change the words of the just.

20. Thou shalt follow justly after that which is just: that thou mayst live and possess the land, which the Lord thy God shall give thee.

21. Thou shalt plant no grove, nor any tree near the altar of the Lord thy God:

22. Neither shalt thou make nor set up to thyself a statue: which things the Lord thy God hateth.
