In context

19You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

20You shall follow that which is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which the LORD your God gives you.

21You shall not plant for yourselves an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the LORD your God’s altar, which you shall make for yourselves.

22Neither shall you set yourself up a sacred stone which the LORD your God hates.
