Proverbs 17:15

He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous,

Both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.

Proverbs 18:5

To show partiality to the wicked is not good,

Nor to thrust aside the righteous in judgment.

The way of a guilty man is perverse,

But as for the pure, his work is upright.

These also are sayings of the wise.

To show partiality in judgment is not good.

He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”

Peoples will curse him, nations will be indignant with him;

But to those who reprove the wicked, it will be pleasant,

And a good blessing will come upon them.
