Proverbs 24:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 If you (A)show yourself lacking courage on the day of distress,
Your strength is meager.
11 (B)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 (C)who weighs the hearts not (D)consider it?
And (E)does He who (F)watches over your soul not know it?
And will He not [a](G)repay a person according to his work?

Proverbs 24:10-12
American Standard Version
10 If thou faint in the day of adversity,
Thy strength is small.
11 Deliver them that are carried away unto death,
And those that are [a]ready to be slain [b]see that thou hold back.
12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not [c]this;
Doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it?
And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?
And shall not he render to every man according to his work?
