Deuteronomy 16:18-20 - Appointing Judges And Officials
18 "Appoint judges and civil servants according to your tribes in all your cities that the LORD your God is about to give you, so they may judge the people impartially. 19 You must not twist justice, show favoritism, or take bribes, because a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the speech of the righteous. 20 You are to pursue justice and only justice so you may live and possess the land that the LORD your God is about to give you."
