Deuteronomy 16:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ Each of you must bring a gift that will show how much the Lord your God has blessed you.

Judges for the People

¹⁸ Appoint judges and officers for your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you; they must judge the people fairly. ¹⁹ Do not judge unfairly or take sides. Do not let people pay you to make wrong decisions, because that kind of payment makes wise people seem blind, and it changes the words of good people.
