How do we know God requires justice from leaders?

Answered in 1 source

God's requirement for justice is evident through His laws outlined in Scripture, particularly in Deuteronomy.

The expectation for just leadership is firmly rooted in God's character and His revealed will through Scripture. In Deuteronomy 16:19, it emphasizes that leaders must not pervert justice, respect persons, or be influenced by gifts. This clearly demonstrates God's desire for righteousness and fairness in judgment. Furthermore, throughout biblical history, instances of judgment upon unjust leaders serve as a reminder of God's commitment to justice. When leaders fail in this regard, they are held accountable by God, who will judge the world in righteousness.
