Deuteronomy 16:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you.

¹⁸ You shall appoint judges and officers in all your towns which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

¹⁹ You shall not misinterpret or misapply judgment; you shall not be partial, or take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
