¹⁵ He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just,
    both of them are abomination to the Lord.

⁵ It is not good to favor the wicked,
    or to turn aside the righteous in judgment.

⁸ The way of a guilty man is perverse;
    but as for the pure, his work is right.

It is not good to show partiality in judgment.
²⁴ He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”
    him the people will curse; nations will abhor him.
²⁵ But to those who rebuke him will be delight,
    and a good blessing will come upon them.
