Deuteronomy 16:18-22

18“Appoint judges and officials for your tribes in all your towns the Lord your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.

19Do not deny justice or show partiality to anyone. Do not accept a bribe, for it blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

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

21“Do not set up an Asherah of any kind of wood next to the altar you will build for the Lord your God,

22and do not set up a sacred pillar; the Lord your God hates them.
