Proverbs 24:24-26

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁴ A judge must not say to a guilty person, ‘You are not guilty.’ If he does say that, everyone will curse him. People of all nations will say that he is bad. ²⁵ When judges decide to punish a guilty person, they will be happy, because God will bless them.

²⁶ Somebody who gives you an honest answer is your true friend.
