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

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

⁸ Crooked is the way of a man and a foreigner,
    but the pure is upright in his conduct.

²³ These sayings are also for the wise:
    Partiality^[a] in judgment is not good.
²⁴ Whoever says to the guilty, “You are righteous,” the people will curse him;
    the nations will abhor him.
²⁵ But they who rebuke will have delight,
    and upon them blessings of goodness will come.
