PROVERBS 24:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.”
These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judging is not good—an affirmation that justice requires impartiality, establishing that showing favor in judgment is fundamentally corrupting. The phrase 'to show partiality' (haker panim) describes the elevation of some faces/people. The theological significance involves the principle that justice is God's prerogative and cannot be bartered.
