Deuteronomy 16:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 Every man shall give according to the gift of his [a]hand, and according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath given thee.
18 ¶ [b]Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy cities, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout the tribes: and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.
19 Wrest not thou the Law, nor respect any person, neither take reward: for the reward blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the just.
