Deuteronomy 16:20 in Context — Deuteronomy 16

18 Jueces y alcaldes te pondrás en todas tus ciudades que Jehová tu Dios te dará en tus tribus, los cuales juzgarán al pueblo con justo juicio.

19 No tuerzas el derecho; no hagas acepción de personas, ni tomes soborno; porque el soborno ciega los ojos de los sabios, y pervierte las palabras de los justos.

20 La justicia, la justicia seguirás, porque vivas y heredes la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da.

21 No te plantarás bosque de ningún árbol cerca del altar de Jehová tu Dios, que tú te habrás hecho.

22 Ni te levantarás estatua; lo cual aborrece Jehová tu Dios.
