He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.

"Keep far from a false charge, and don't kill the innocent and righteous: for I will not justify the wicked.

who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!

To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice.

The two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. The base fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, "Naboth cursed God and the king!" Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight.

The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," says Yahweh.

Her princes in its midst are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.

You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth:

For I know how many your offenses, and how great are your sins -- you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the courts.

Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;

But they all cried out together, saying, "Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!" --

But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn't resist you.
