Proverbs 24:23-25

Evangelical Heritage Version

²³ These sayings also are by the wise:
To show partiality when administering justice is not good.
²⁴ If anyone says to a guilty person, “You are innocent,”
people will curse him. Nations will denounce him.
²⁵ However, it will be pleasant for those who convict the guilty.
A wonderful blessing will come upon them.
