We have in Matthew 23 and indicting word by Jesus against the pharisees. Jesus didn't dilute His speaking to gain an endorsement or for any man's acceptance. Nor as Igzy said, did Jesus remain silent.
We see Proverbs 17:15 in practice through many local churches who adhere to fellowship given by LSM co-workers. Where righteous brothers end up being condemned (and subsequently quarantined) for speaking according to the conviction of their conscience. Which is essentially a reaction to unrighteousness.
Read the book of Proverbs. Throught the book there is chapter after chapter a contrast of the righteous and the wicked. One verse in concluding my post,
In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death. Proverbs 12:28
