18 “You shall appoint vjudges and officers in all your 3gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 19 wYou shall not pervert justice; xyou shall not 4show partiality, ynor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and 5twists the words of the righteous. 20 You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may zlive and inherit the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
21 a“You shall not plant for yourself any tree, as a 6wooden image, near the altar which you build for yourself to the Lord your God. 22 bYou shall not set up a sacred pillar, which the Lord your God hates.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
