Deuteronomy 16:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.
