17:15The one who acquits the guilty and the one who condemns the innocent53—
both of them are an abomination to the Lord.54
Footnotes
- 53 Heb “he who justifies the wicked and and he who condemns the righteous” (so ). The first colon uses two Hiphil participles, מַצְדִּיק (matsdiq) and מַרְשִׁיעַ (marshia’). The first means “to declare righteous” (a declarative Hiphil), and the second means “to make wicked [or, guilty]” or “to condemn” (i.e., “to declare guilty”). To declare someone righteous who is a guilty criminal, or to condemn someone who is innocent, are both abominations for the Righteous Judge of the whole earth.
- 54 Heb “an abomination of the Lord.”
