Proverbs 17:15

Proverbs 17:15 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

15Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent—

the Lord detests them both.

15One who justifies the wicked and one who condemns the righteous,

Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.

15He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous,

Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.

15He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous

Are both repulsive to the Lord. [Ex 23:7; Prov 24:24; Is 5:23]

15Acquitting the guilty and condemning the righteous—

both are detestable to the Lord.

15The Lord hates two things.

He hates it when the guilty are set free.

He also hates it when those who aren’t guilty are punished.
