Deuteronomy 16:18-22

18Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which Jehovah thy 1God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes, that they may judge the people with just judgment. 19Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. 20Perfect justice shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and possess the land that Jehovah thy 2God giveth thee. 21Thou shalt not plant thyself an Asherah of any wood near unto the altar of Jehovah thy 3God, which thou shalt make thee. 22Neither shalt thou set thee up a statue, which Jehovah thy 4God hateth.
