To show partiality in judging is not good.
Whoever says to the guilty, "You are innocent"----
people will curse him and nations denounce him.

These also are sayings of the wise: Prov 24:23-24

But it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
and rich blessing will come upon them.

Prov 24:25

Though his speech is charming, do not believe him............Prov 26: 25

Hmmmmmm.
I'm not putting the context here.

Is there anything new under the sun?
Has it all been said before?
Has it all been done before?

for they refuse to do what is right.

Prov 21:7

When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous,
But terror to evildoers.

Prov. 21:15

Do not exploit the poor because they are poor
And do not crush the needy in court,
For the Lord will take up their case
And will plunder those plunder them.

Kings take pleasure in honest lips;
They value a man who speaks the truth.
