Proverbs 24:11-12
New American Standard Bible
11 (A)Rescue those who are being taken away to death,
And those who are staggering to the slaughter, Oh hold them back!
12 If you say, “See, we did not know this,”
Does He (B)who weighs the hearts not (C)consider it?
And (D)does He who (E)watches over your soul not know it?
And will He not [a](F)repay a person according to his work?

Proverbs 24:11-12
New Living Translation
11 Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;
save them as they stagger to their death.
12 Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.”
For God understands all hearts, and he sees you.
He who guards your soul knows you knew.
He will repay all people as their actions deserve.
