Deuteronomy 16:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ Each of you must bring a gift. Give to the Lord your God, just as he has given to you.

Appoint Judges and Officials

¹⁸ Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes. Do it in every town the Lord your God is giving you. They must judge the people fairly. ¹⁹ Do what is right. Treat everyone the same. Don’t take money from people who want special favors. It makes those who are wise close their eyes to the truth. It twists the words of those who have done nothing wrong.
