18
Shofetim and officers shall you make you in all your gates, which the LORD your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.
19
You shall not wrest justice: you shall not respect persons; neither shall you take a bribe; for a bribe does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
20
That which is altogether just shall you follow, that you may live, and inherit the land which the LORD your God gives you.
21
You shall not plant you an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of the LORD your God, which you shall make you.
22
Neither shall you set yourself up a pillar; which the LORD your God hates.
