19 You are not to twist justice—you must not show partiality or take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and distorts the words of the righteous.
20 Justice, justice you must pursue, so that you may live and possess the land that Adonai your God is giving you.
21 You are not to plant for yourself an Asherah pole of any kind of wood beside the altar of Adonai your God that you make for yourself.
22 Nor are you to set up a pillar for yourself—Adonai your God hates this.
