Proverbs 24:11-12
Modern English Version
11 If you refrain to deliver those who are drawn unto death,
and those who are ready to be slain;
12 if you say, “Surely we did not know this,”
does not He who ponders the heart consider it?
And He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?
And will He not render to every man according to his works?
Proverbs 28:3

is like a sweeping rain that leaves no food.

but he who hides his eyes will have many a curse.
Proverbs 31:8-9
Modern English Version
8 Open your mouth for the speechless
in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,
and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
