 Proverbs 17, verse 15. He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abominations to the Lord. Going back to Romans 13. See, Romans 13 means exactly what it says. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power to do that which is good? And now shall have praise of the same?
