Deuteronomy 1:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And I commanded them, saying: Hear them, and judge that which is just: whether he be one of your country, or a stranger.

¹⁷ There shall be no difference of persons, you shall hear the little as well as the great: neither shall you respect any man's person, because it is the judgment of God. And if any thing seem hard to you, refer it to me, and I will hear it.

¹⁸ And I commanded you all things that you were to do.
