Proverbios 17

Den Unschuldigen zu büssen, schon das ist nicht gut; / Edle zu schlagen, geht wider das Recht. /

Ciertamente no es bueno condenar al justo, ni herir á los príncipes que hacen lo recto.

Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.

Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.
