He commanded them: "Carry out your duties with respect for the Lord, with honesty, and with pure motives.

The God of Israel spoke, the protector of Israel spoke to me. The one who rules fairly among men, the one who rules in the fear of God,

I furthermore admonished your judges at that time that they should pay attention to issues among your fellow citizens and judge fairly, whether between one citizen and another or a citizen and a resident foreigner.

Respect the Lord and make careful decisions, for the Lord our God disapproves of injustice, partiality, and bribery."

He will take delight in obeying the Lord. He will not judge by mere appearances, or make decisions on the basis of hearsay.

Look, a king will promote fairness; officials will promote justice.
