19 You shall not distort justice; you shall not be partial, and you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous. 20 You shall pursue justice, and only justice [that which is uncompromisingly righteous], so that you may live and take possession of the land which the LORD your God is giving you. 21 “You shall not plant for yourself an Asherah of any kind of tree or wood beside the altar of the LORD your God, which you shall make. 22 You shall not set up for yourself a sacred pillar which the LORD your God hates.
