Proverbs 24:23-26

Proverbs 24:23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
 
We are in a part of proverbs now that shows us some ways that think and the right and wrong way way things are done. First we see that those who are in judgement if they say that the guilty are innocent they will cause society to be unstable and and riot. But if the people who are guilty are judged and given the punishment they deserve the people will praise him for the right judgement and the Lord will also be pleased and blessings will flow. This last verse is saying that a just and righteous response is as desirable as this most intimate expression of friendship. we should always support the leaders that are do what is right in the eyes of God and pray for those who do not.
