Deuteronomy 16:20 in Context — Deuteronomy 16
18 Tu établiras des juges et des magistrats dans toutes les villes que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne, selon tes tribus; et ils jugeront le peuple avec justice.
19 Tu ne porteras atteinte à aucun droit, tu n’auras point égard à l’apparence des personnes, et tu ne recevras point de présent, car les présents aveuglent les yeux des sages et corrompent les paroles des justes.
20 Tu suivras ponctuellement la justice, afin que tu vives et que tu possèdes le pays que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne.
21 Tu ne fixeras aucune idole de bois à côté de l’autel que tu élèveras à l’Éternel, ton Dieu.
22 Tu ne dresseras point des statues, qui sont en aversion à l’Éternel, ton Dieu.
