Deuteronomy 16:17-19
International Standard Version
17 but each one must appear[a] with his own gift, proportional to the blessing that the Lord your God has given you.”
Pursue Justice
18 “Appoint judges and civil servants according to your tribes in all your cities[b] that the Lord your God is about to give you, so they may judge the people impartially.[c] 19 You must not twist justice, show favoritism, or take bribes, because a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the speech of the righteous.
