Like in the time of the Judges and other points in Biblical narratives, many who identify as followers of the Judeo-Christian deity today either disregard Yahweh's commands or think they are unjust (Ezekiel 18:25, 29). This wholly depends on whether or not Christianity is true rather than any subjective conscience or pathetic social consensus, which are irrelevant to dictating moral metaphysics or epistemologically revealing it altogether. As if this would not already be true by logical necessity if morality exists, by virtue of what justice is (what should be done in accordance with what someone deserves), the Torah affirms that justice is to be unflinchingly pursued—Deuteronomy 16:20 says to follow justice and justice alone. What are some of the qualities or expressions of justice according to the Torah?
It would involve never punishing someone on the testimony of only one witness (Numbers 35:30, Deuteronomy 17:6, 19:15), never going further than the prescribed limitations of punitive justice into oppression and especially when it comes to physical torture (Deuteronomy 25:1-3, 11-12, and more), never punishing an innocent person as if they are guilty (Exodus 23:1, 7), never siding with someone on the basis of socio-economic class (Exodus 23:3, 6, Leviticus 19:15), never discriminating against male and female perpetrators or victims (Exodus 21:26-32 and Numbers 5:5-7, among many other relevant verses [1]), never mistreating foreigners or giving them harsher or lighter sentences (Exodus 23:9, Leviticus 19:33-34, 24:22, and more), and so on.
Another criterion would be not seeking monetary gain through a bribe in a legal context, something condemned in both Exodus 23:8 and Deuteronomy 16:19. Bribery to, say, accelerate a nonsinful business transaction or accomplish some other permissible goal unrelated to the administration of justice is not immoral by extension of this because it is only bribery with illicit objectives that is prohibited. The entire reason for bribery being sinful when used in this way would not apply to all expressions of or motivations for bribery. The exact penalties of Mosaic Law or what logically follows from them in a circumstance not directly addressed by the Torah [2] are what we are to follow without allowing bribes to dissuade us.
It is true that while all of these aforementioned things are tenets of Biblical justice, it is impossible for justice to be adhered to without also adhering to or pursuing other things. The phrase "justice alone" is about justice as opposed to injustice. One would have to "follow" (align with) reason to follow justice or else one is just making assumptions or doing as one pleases, which is irrationalistic if morality exists since it entails what one should do no matter what one finds desirable or subjectively persuasive. More importantly, logical axioms are true by self-necessity (their falsity still would require their veracity), so neither God nor justice or anything else could be ungoverned by them; nothing is true or knowable apart from reason, including what the Bible says about justice.
There could also be no morality without the uncaused cause having a moral nature, so in this sense as well, it is logically impossible to follow justice alone without regard for anything else since justice already depends on other things. One would be obligated to follow justice alone in the sense of not diluting truly deserved (not socially constructed or personally appealing) criminal penalties for emotionalism or personal gain, such with the type of bribery condemned in Deuteronomy 16. Altering just punishments so that they under-punish or treat someone cruelly, ignoring Biblically criminal offenders out of convenience or disinterest, or punishing people even with the right penalty when there is insufficient evidence against them, among other things, are the injustices to be shunned and abhorred.
