16 And I charged your{} judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your{} brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the sojourner who is with him.
17 You{} will not respect persons in judgment; you{} will hear the small and the great alike; you{} will not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you{}, you{} will bring to me, and I will hear it.
