Proverbs 24:23
World English Bible (WEB)
These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.
In context
21 My son, fear the LORD and the king. Don’t join those who are rebellious,
22 for their calamity will rise suddenly. Who knows what destruction may come from them both?
23 These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.
24 He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” peoples will curse him, and nations will abhor him—
25 but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and a rich blessing will come on them.
