Deuteronomy 16:18 in Context — Deuteronomy 16

16 Três vezes cada ano comparecerá todo homem teu diante do SENHOR teu Deus no lugar que ele escolher: na solenidade dos pães ázimos, e na solenidade das semanas, e na solenidade das cabanas. E não comparecerá vazio diante do SENHOR:

17 Cada um com a doação de sua mão, conforme a bênção do SENHOR teu Deus, que te houver dado.

18 Juízes e oficiais te porás em todas tuas cidades que o SENHOR teu Deus te dará em tuas tribos, os quais julgarão ao povo com justo juízo.

19 Não distorças o direito; não faças acepção de pessoas, nem tomes suborno; porque o suborno cega os olhos dos sábios, e perverte as palavras dos justos.

20 A justiça, a justiça seguirás, para que vivas e herdes a terra que o SENHOR teu Deus te dá.
