Proverbi 18:5 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 18:5

[It is] not good to accept the person of the wicked
For a judge to have respect to a wicked man in a cause before him, and to favour him, because he is a rich man, or a relation, or he has received some kindness from him; none of these things should have any influence upon him to overthrow the righteous in judgment:
though he may be a poor man and a stranger, and to whom the judge is under no private and personal obligation; yet justice ought to be done without any respect to persons; to do otherwise is not only not good, but very bad, very sinful and criminal; it is contrary to law and justice; it is doing injury to men, and is repugnant to the will of God, and offensive to him, ( Leviticus 19:15 ) .

3 Quando viene un empio, viene anche lo sprezzo, E il vituperio con ignominia.
4 Le parole della bocca dell’uomo eccellente sono acque profonde; La fonte di sapienza è un torrente che sgorga.
5 Egli non è bene d’aver riguardo alla qualità dell’empio, Per far torto al giusto nel giudicio.
6 Le labbra dello stolto entrano in contesa, E la sua bocca chiama le percosse.
7 La bocca dello stolto è la sua ruina, E le sue labbra sono il laccio dell’anima sua.
