Proverbs 24:11-12
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
11 if you hold back from rescuing those taken away to death,
those who go staggering to the slaughter;
12 if you say, ‘Look, we did not know this’—
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it?
And will he not repay all according to their deeds?
Proverbs 24:23-28

Further Sayings of the Wise
23 These also are sayings of the wise:
Partiality in judging is not good.
24 Whoever says to the wicked, ‘You are innocent’,
will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations;
25 but those who rebuke the wicked will have delight,
and a good blessing will come upon them.
26 One who gives an honest answer
gives a kiss on the lips.
27 Prepare your work outside,
get everything ready for you in the field;
and after that build your house.
28 Do not be a witness against your neighbour without cause,
and do not deceive with your lips.
