Proverbs 24:11-12
New American Standard Bible
11 (A)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 (B)who weighs the hearts not (C)consider it?
And (D)does He who (E)watches over your soul not know it?
And will He not [a](F)repay a person according to his work?

Proverbs 24:11-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 if you hold back from rescuing those taken away to death,
those who go staggering to the slaughter;(A)
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?(B)
