What does the Bible say about justifying the wicked?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that justifying the wicked is an abomination to the Lord (Proverbs 17:15).

Proverbs 17:15 states, 'He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.' This verse highlights the righteousness of God and the importance of divine justice. Justifying the wicked implies a corruption in judgment, which contradicts God’s perfect nature. According to Scripture, God, in His essence, cannot justify the evil or wicked, as His holiness would be compromised. Such actions do not reflect the divine standard that God upholds throughout the Bible, emphasizing that His justice and mercy have a perfect balance.
