દુષ્ટની શેહશરમ રાખવી અથવા ઇનસાફમાં નેક માણસનો અન્યાય કરવો એ સારું નથી.

In context

3When wickedness comes, contempt also comes, and with shame comes disgrace.

4The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters. The fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook.

5To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice.

6A fool’s lips come into strife, and his mouth invites beatings.

7A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
