Deuteronomy 16:18-22 World English Bible (WEB)

18. You shall make judges and officers in all your gates, which Yahweh your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

19. You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.

20. You shall follow that which is altogether just, that you may live, and inherit the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

21. You shall not plant for yourselves an Asherah of any kind of tree beside Yahweh your God’s altar, which you shall make for yourselves.

22. Neither shall you set yourself up a sacred stone which Yahweh your God hates.
