10 If you faint on the day of adversity,
    little is your strength.
11 Rescue those who are led away to the death
    and those who stagger to the slaughter. If you hold back,

    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.
