More wise thoughts

²³ These are more things that wise people have said:

When you judge people, be fair. It is not good to respect some people more than others. ²⁴ A judge must not say to a guilty person, ‘You are not guilty.’ If he does say that, everyone will curse him. People of all nations will say that he is bad.
