* Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates , which Jehovah thy God giveth thee , throughout thy tribes , that they may judge the people with just judgment . * Thou shalt not wrest judgment ; thou shalt not respect persons , neither take a bribe ; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise , and perverteth the words of the righteous . * Perfect justice shalt thou follow , that thou mayest live , and possess the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee . * Thou shalt not plant thyself an Asherah of any wood near unto the altar of Jehovah thy God , which thou shalt make thee . * Neither shalt thou set thee up a statue , which Jehovah thy God hateth .
