Proverbs 17:15 He that justifies the wicked, and he that comdemns the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. It was a saying of Solon, the Athenian lawgiver, that a republic walks upon two feet; one being just punishment for the unworthy, the other due reward for the worthy. If it fail in either of these, it necessarily goes lame. How if it fail in both? Parallel Verses KJV: He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. |
