Proverbs 24:24

¹⁵He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.

²³who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!

²⁶People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

²⁴“They will go out, and look at the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

¹⁰“Don’t slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.

²⁷One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.

⁶“You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.

⁷“Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.

¹⁰Therefore I will give their wives to others and their fields to those who will possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely. ¹¹They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.

²⁰Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

²²Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive.
