Deuteronomy 16:18-20

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

18 Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every city that the LORD your God gives you. They must judge the people fairly.

19 Don't delay justice; don't show favoritism. Don't take bribes because bribery blinds the vision of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

20 Righteousness! Pursue righteousness so that you live long and take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

New International Version NIV

18 Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the LORD your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly.

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

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