Proverbs 17:15-16

Proverbs 17:15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
 
This starts off telling us that judgement should be righteous. We should love the sinner but not overlook the sin neither should we condemn someone because they are a sinner. Anyone who judges the wicked or the wicked who condemns the just are both sinning in God’s eyes and are an abomination to Him. Verse 16 goes on to ask us a question as to how much would it cost for a fool to get wisdom? There is no amount that can buy wisdom, you have to have the desire to want it and ask God for it when you turn your life over to Him.To many people today think if they spend enough money on education they will have all the wisdom they need but we know thy will still be lacking if they do not have the wisdom of God.
