Deuteronomy 16:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ “Do not pervert the Law or show partiality or take reward. For the reward blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the just.

²⁰ “That which is just and right you shall follow, so that you may live and possess the land which the LORD your God gives you.

²¹ “You shall plant for yourself no grove of any trees near the Altar of the LORD your God, which you shall make yourself.
