15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.
15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent- the Lord detests them both.
15 He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord.
15 Whitewashing bad people and throwing mud on good people are equally abhorrent to God.
15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent- both are detestable to the Lord .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 17:15
