What does the Bible say about judging by appearance?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against judging by appearance and emphasizes the importance of righteous judgment (John 7:24).

The Bible, particularly in John 7:24, instructs us not to judge by mere appearances but to judge with a righteous judgment. This principle is rooted in our limitations as humans; we cannot see the heart or the unseen circumstances surrounding an individual. True wisdom lies in refraining from premature judgments and waiting until the end of a matter to draw conclusions. For instance, Eliphaz, in the book of Job, mistakenly judged Job solely on his suffering, overlooking Job's righteousness and God's purposes.
