Si vizuri kumwadhibu mtu asiye na hatia, au kuwapiga sana maafisa kwa ajili ya uadilifu wao.
Proverbs 17:26 in English
Proverbs 17:26 · Berean Standard Bible
It is surely not good to punish the innocent or to flog a noble for his honesty.
Context
24Mtu wa ufahamu huitazama hekima,
lakini macho ya mpumbavu huhangaika
hadi kwenye miisho ya dunia. 25Mwana mpumbavu huleta huzuni kwa baba yake
na uchungu kwa yeye aliyemzaa. 26Si vizuri kumwadhibu mtu asiye na hatia,
au kuwapiga sana maafisa kwa ajili ya uadilifu wao. 27Mtu mwenye maarifa hutumia maneno kwa kujizuia,
naye mtu mwenye ufahamu ana moyo wa utulivu. 28Hata mtu mpumbavu hudhaniwa kuwa na hekima kama akinyamaza,
na mwenye ufahamu kama akiuzuia ulimi wake.
