Deuteronomio 16:18-20

Impartición de justicia

18 »Nombrarás jueces y funcionarios que juzguen con justicia al pueblo, en cada una de las ciudades que el SEÑOR tu Dios entregará a tus tribus.

19 No pervertirás la justicia ni actuarás con parcialidad. No aceptarás soborno, pues el soborno nubla los ojos del sabio y tuerce las palabras del justo.

20 Seguirás la justicia y solamente la justicia, para que puedas vivir y poseer la tierra que te da el SEÑOR tu Dios.
