Further Sayings of the Wise

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