Deuteronomy 16:17-19
New King James Version
17 Every man shall give as he is able, (A)according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you.
Justice Must Be Administered
18 “You shall appoint (B)judges and officers in all your [a]gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 19 (C)You shall not pervert justice; (D)you shall not [b]show partiality, (E)nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and [c]twists the words of the righteous.
