Proverbs 24:11-12
English Standard Version
11 (A)Rescue those who are being taken away to death;
hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
(B)does not he who (C)weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who (D)keeps watch over your soul know it,
and will he not repay man (E)according to his work?
Genesis 25:22-24
English Standard Version
22 The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?”[a] So she went (A)to inquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said to her,
(B)“Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you[b] shall be divided;
(C)the one shall be stronger than the other,
(D)the older shall serve the younger.”
24 When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb.
