Verse 20 is found in chapter 16 of Deuteronomy. Moses commands judges and officers to be appointed in the cities and requires them to administer justice without partiality or bribery. The pursuit of justice must be a fundamental condition for Israel to remain in the land. Public justice thus appears as an obligation directly derived from the identity of the covenant people.

Was recht ist, dem sollst du nachjagen, auf daß du leben und einehmen mögest das Land, das dir der HERR, dein Gott, geben wird.
La justicia, la justicia seguirás, porque vivas y heredes la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da.
Tu suivras ponctuellement la justice, afin que tu vives et que tu possèdes le pays que l'Eternel, ton Dieu, te donne.
Del tutto va’ dietro alla giustizia, acciocchè tu viva, e possegga il paese che il Signore Iddio tuo ti dà.
A justiça, somente a justiça seguirás; para que vivas, e possuas em herança a terra que te dará o SENHOR teu Deus.
公正!你要追求公正,好使你存活,承受耶和華-你上帝所賜你的地。」
