Deuteronomy 16:20 in Context — Deuteronomy 16
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.
21 Não plantarás árvore que sirva de mastro de idolatria junto ao altar do SENHOR, teu Deus, que fizeres para ti.
22 Nem levantarás para ti coluna sagrada de pedra, a qual o SENHOR, teu Deus, odeia.
