justify vs. decide

[Pavanhotscan]

HI

i said to my friend " You cannot justify a person by looking their face "

or

" You cannot decide a person by looking their face "

is anyone of the above sentences correct ?

i think there should be appropriate word inplace of "justify" or "decide" .and also Could you check the grammar mistakes of the above sentences.

Regards

Hi,

I would suggest: You cannot judge a person ...'

You also need a preposition with 'look' when it has an object. Compare:

They were looking at the scenery.

The scenery looks very beautiful.
