Deuteronomy 16:19-21

New Living Translation

¹⁹ You must never twist justice or show partiality. Never accept a bribe, for bribes blind the eyes of the wise and corrupt the decisions of the godly. ²⁰ Let true justice prevail, so you may live and occupy the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

²¹ “You must never set up a wooden Asherah pole beside the altar you build for the Lord your God.
