Deuteronomy 16:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ Never twist justice to benefit a rich man, and never accept bribes. For bribes blind the eyes of the wisest and corrupt their decisions. ²⁰ Justice must prevail.

“That is the only way you will be successful in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

²¹ “Never, under any circumstances, are you to erect shameful images beside the altar of the Lord your God.
