18
Thou shalt make for thyself judges and officers in thy cities, which the Lord thy God gives thee in tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment:
19
they shall not wrest judgment, nor favour persons, nor receive a gift; for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
20
Thou shalt justly pursue justice, that ye may live, and go in and inherit the land which the Lord thy God gives thee.
21
Thou shalt not plant for thyself a grove; thou shalt not plant for thyself any tree near the altar of thy God.
22
Thou shalt not set up for thyself a pillar, which the Lord thy God hates.
