‏ Proverbs 24:23

23 These sayings also are from the wise:

To show partiality ^{▼▼tn Heb “to recognize faces”; KJV, ASV “to have respect of persons”; NLT “to show favoritism.”} in judgment is terrible: ^{▼▼tn Heb “not good.” This is a figure known as tapeinosis—a deliberate understatement to emphasize a worst-case scenario: “it is terrible!”}
