Deuteronomio 16:18-20

18 Nombrarás para ti jueces y oficiales en todas las ciudades que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da, según tus tribus, y ellos juzgarán al pueblo con justo juicio.

19 No torcerás la justicia; no harás acepción de personas, ni tomarás soborno, porque el soborno ciega los ojos del sabio y pervierte las palabras del justo.

20 La justicia, y sólo la justicia buscarás, para que vivas y poseas la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da.
