Proverbs 24:23-25

Contemporary English Version

²³ Here are some more sayings
    that make good sense:
When you judge,
    you must be fair.
²⁴ If you let the guilty
    go free,
people of all nations
    will hate and curse you.
²⁵ But if you punish the guilty,
things will go well for you,
    and you will prosper.
