"Also to punish the just not good, to strike princes for equity."
Proverbs 17:26

In context

24Wisdom before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool in the ends of the earth.

25A foolish son a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

26Also to punish the just not good, to strike princes for equity.

27He that hath knowledge spareth his words: a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

28Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: he that shutteth his lips a man of understanding.
