The Perversion of Justice
Psalm 58:1-11
Do you indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do you judge uprightly, O you sons of men?…


Agesilaus, indeed, in other respects was strictly and inflexibly just; but where a man's friends are concerned, he thought a rigid regard to justice a mere pretence. There is still extant a short letter of his to Hydreius the Carian, which is a proof of what we have said: "If Nicias is innocent, acquit him; if he is not innocent, acquit him on my account; however, be sure to acquit him."

(Plutarch.)
