What does Proverbs 17:15 mean?

If you say someone who’s guilty is innocent, or call an innocent person guilty, you’re doing something God hates. Both are wrong. Proverbs 17:15 - Modern Text Bible

(This verse points out that twisting justice—whether by letting the guilty go free or punishing the innocent—is deeply offensive to God. It’s about the importance of fairness and honesty in judgment.)
