Proverbs 17:15 in other translations
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
Acquitting the guilty and condemning the righteous— both are detestable to the LORD.
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
