Proverbs 17:26

New American Standard Bible

²⁶It is also not good to ^(A)fine the righteous,
Nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.

Proverbs 17:26

Common English Bible

²⁶It isn’t good to punish the righteous,
to strike the honorable for their integrity.

⁵To ^(A)show partiality to the wicked is not good,
Nor to ^(B)suppress the righteous in judgment.

⁵Favoring the wicked isn’t good;
it denies justice to the righteous.

⁸The way of a guilty person is ^(A)crooked,
But as for the pure, his conduct is upright.

⁸The ways of some people are twisted and strange,
but the behavior of those who do right is pure.
