Deuteronomy 16

¹⁸ You are to appoint judges and officials for your tribes in every town that the LORD your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.

¹⁹ Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

²⁰ Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

²¹ Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,

²² and do not set up for yourselves a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.
