¹⁵ He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous,
    the two of them are both abominations of Yahweh.

²⁶ Also, imposing a fine on the righteous is not good,
    nor to flog nobles for uprightness.

⁵ Being partial to faces of evil is not good,
    nor to subvert the righteous at the judgment.

¹⁵ It is a joy to the righteous to do justice,
    but dismay to those who do evil.

¹¹ Rescue those who are led away to the death
    and those who stagger to the slaughter. If you hold back,
¹² if you say, “Look, we do not know this,”
    does not he who weighs hearts perceive it?
    And he who keeps your soul,^[a]
    he knows and will repay humankind according to his deeds.
