TSK · Proverbs 17:15

Keep your distance from a false charge– do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I will not justify the wicked.

The two villains arrived and sat opposite him. Then the villains testified against Naboth right before the people, saying,“Naboth cursed God and the king.” So they dragged him outside the city and stoned him to death.

The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but an accurate weight is his delight.

It is terrible to show partiality to the wicked, by depriving a righteous man of justice.

The one who says to the guilty,“You are innocent,” peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him.

“Indeed, my plans are not like your plans, and my deeds are not like your deeds,” says the LORD,

Her officials are like wolves in her midst rending their prey– shedding blood and destroying lives– so they can get dishonest profit.

Certainly I am aware of your many rebellious acts and your numerous sins. You torment the innocent, you take bribes, and you deny justice to the needy at the city gate.

But they all shouted out together,“Take this man away! Release Barabbas for us!”

You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, although he does not resist you.
