Proverbs 24:23-25

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²³ These sayings also belong to the wise:^(A)

It is not good to show partiality in judgment.^(B)
24 Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent”^(C)—
people will curse him,^(D) and tribes will denounce him;
²⁵ but it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
and a generous blessing will come to them.
