Proverbs 24:11-12
International Standard Version
11 Rescue those who are being led away to death,
and save those who stumble toward slaughter.
12 If you say, “Look here, we didn’t know about this,”
doesn’t God,[a] who examines motives,[b] discern it?
Doesn’t the one who guards your soul
know about it?
Won’t he repay each person
according to what he has done?

Lexham English Bible
11 Rescue those who are led away to the death
and those who stagger to the slaughter. If you hold back,
12 if you say, “Look, we do not know this,”
does not he who weighs hearts perceive it?
And he who keeps your soul,[a]
he knows and will repay humankind according to his deeds.
