Deuteronomy 16:18-20 The Regulations for Worship

18 Judges
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 righteous.

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