¹⁶ And I charged your judges at that time, ‘Hear the cases between your brothers, and ^(A)judge righteously between a man and his brother or the alien who is with him. ^17 (B)You shall not be partial in judgment. You shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be intimidated by anyone, for ^(C)the judgment is God's. And the case that is too hard for you, you shall ^(D)bring to me, and I will hear it.’

Justice

¹⁸ “You shall appoint ^(A)judges and officers in all your towns that the Lord your God is giving you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. ^19 (B)You shall not pervert justice. ^(C)You shall not show partiality, ^(D)and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous.
