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.

12 Let a bereaved bear encounter man, rather than a dullard, with his folly!
13 He that returneth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14 A letting forth of water, is the beginning of strife, therefore, before it breaketh out, abandon, contention.
15 He that justifieth the lawless, and he that condemneth the righteous, an abomination to Yahweh, are they, both.
16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a dullard? that he who is without sense, may acquire wisdom.
17 At all times, doth a friend love, and, a brother for distress, must be born.
18 A man lacking sense, is one who striketh hands, giving security, before his neighbour.
