定恶人为义的，定义人为恶的，这都为耶和华所憎恶。

定恶人为义的，定义人为有罪的，都为耶和华所憎恶。

定恶人为义的，定义人为有罪的，都为耶和华所憎恶。

以惡為善、以善為惡、俱耶和華所疾。

以惡人為善、以善人為惡、斯二者主所憎、

Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— the Lord detests them both.

He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord.

One who justifies the wicked and one who condemns the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.

Do not have anything to do with a false charge. Do not put to death people not guilty of doing anything wrong. I will not let guilty people go free.

How terrible for those who take money to set guilty people free! How terrible for those who don’t treat good people fairly!

It isn’t good to favor those who do wrong. That would keep justice from those who aren’t guilty.

Here are more sayings of wise people. Taking sides in court is not good.A curse will fall on those who say the guilty are not guilty. Nations will ask for bad things to happen to them. People will speak against them.

You have judged and murdered people who aren’t guilty. And they weren’t even opposing you.

Then two worthless and evil men came and sat across from him. They brought charges against Naboth in front of the people. The two men said,“ Naboth has cursed God and the king.” So they took him outside the city. They killed him by throwing stones at him.

I know how many crimes you have committed. You have sinned far too much. Among you are people who crush those who have done no wrong. They accept money from people who want special favors. They take away the rights of poor people in the courts.

There are six things the Lord hates. In fact, he hates seven things.

There are people among you who turn what is fair into something bitter. They throw down to the ground what is right.

“ My thoughts are not like your thoughts. And your ways are not like my ways,” announces the Lord.“ The heavens are higher than the earth. And my ways are higher than your ways. My thoughts are higher than your thoughts.

But things are different with God. He makes ungodly people right with himself. If people trust in him, their faith is accepted even though they do not work. Their faith makes them right with God.

Horses don’t run on rocky ground. People don’t plow the sea with oxen. But you have turned fair treatment into poison. You have turned the fruit of right living into bitterness.

The Lord hates the sacrifice of sinful people. But the prayers of honest people please him.

But the whole crowd shouted,“ Kill this man! But let Barabbas go!”Barabbas had been thrown into prison. He had taken part in a struggle in the city against the authorities. He had also committed murder.Pilate wanted to let Jesus go. So he made an appeal to the crowd again.But they kept shouting,“ Crucify him! Crucify him!”Pilate spoke to them for the third time.“ Why?” he asked.“ What wrong has this man done? I have found no reason to have him put to death. So I will just have him whipped and let him go.”But with loud shouts they kept calling for Jesus to be crucified. The people’s shouts won out.So Pilate decided to give them what they wanted.He set free the man they asked for. The man had been thrown in prison for murder and for fighting against the authorities. Pilate handed Jesus over to them so they could carry out their plans.

The officials in the land are like wolves that tear their food apart. They spill blood and kill people to get rich.The prophets cover up these acts for them. The visions of these prophets are false. They use magic to try to find out what is going to happen. But their magic tricks are lies. They say,‘ The Lord and King says.’ But I have not spoken to them.The people of the land get rich by cheating others. They steal. They crush those who are poor and in need. They treat outsiders badly. They refuse to be fair to them.

The Lord hates it when people use scales to cheat others. But he is delighted when people use honest weights.
