Deuteronomy 16:19

19 You are not to distort justice or show favoritism, and you are not to accept a bribe, for a gift blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of even the upright.

Deuteronomy 16:19 In-Context

17 but every man is to give what he can, in accordance with the blessing ADONAI your God has given you.
18 "You are to appoint judges and officers for all your gates [in the cities] ADONAI your God is giving you, tribe by tribe; and they are to judge the people with righteous judgment.
19 You are not to distort justice or show favoritism, and you are not to accept a bribe, for a gift blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of even the upright.
20 Justice, only justice, you must pursue; so that you will live and inherit the land ADONAI your God is giving you.
21 "You are not to plant any sort of tree as a sacred pole beside the altar of ADONAI your God that you will make for yourselves.
