Proverbs 24:23

²¹ My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not associate with the rebellious.

²² For they will bring sudden destruction. Who knows what ruin they can bring?

These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.

²⁴ Whoever tells the guilty, “You are innocent”— peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him;

²⁵ but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come upon them.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
