SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:24

El que dijere al malo: Justo eres, los pueblos lo maldecirán, y le detestarán las naciones;

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 24. He that saith unto the wicked, Thou [art] righteous , etc.] Not in a private way, or as giving his opinion or character of a man that is wicked, whom either through ignorance or flattery another may call righteous; which may be done and not resented by people and nations; but in an open court of judicature pronounced by the judge, justifying the wicked for reward, and condemning the just, which is an abomination unto the Lord; (see Proverbs 17:15 Isaiah 5:23); nor should the ministers of the Gospel flatter the wicked, and call them righteous and good men, and strengthen their hands in their wickedness, promising them life though they continue in their evil ways; for though God justifies the ungodly, man should not; nor does he justify them in, but from, their ungodliness; (see Ezekiel 13:2); him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him ; the people of the land shall curse him as an unjust judge, as a patron of wickedness aunt wicked men; as an enemy to justice, and a discourager of truth and honesty, and all good men; and even nations that have not so immediate a concern in the affair, yet hearing of it shall express their indignation at him and abhorrence of him.
