Deuteronomy 16:18-20
Lexham English Bible

18 “You shall appoint judges and officials for you in all your towns[a] that Yahweh your God is giving to you throughout your tribes, and you shall render for the people righteous judgments.[b] 19 You shall not subvert[c] justice; you shall not show partiality;[d] and you shall not take a bribe, for the bribe makes blind the eyes of the wise and misrepresents the words of the righteous. 20 Justice, only justice[e] you shall pursue, so that you may live, and you shall take possession of the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you.
