King James Version with Apocrypha
"Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity."
— Proverbs 17:26, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.”
“Also to punish the righteous is not good, Norto smite the noble fortheiruprightness. ”
“Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.”
“It is terrible to punish a righteous person, and to flog honorable men is wrong.”
“It is no good thing to do hurt to the just: nor to strike the prince, who judgeth right.”
“To give punishment to the upright is not good, or to give blows to the noble for their righteousness.”
A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
