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
Common English Bible
10 If you show yourself weak on a day of distress,
your strength is too small.
11 Rescue those being taken off to death;
and from those staggering to the slaughter, don’t hold back.
12 If you say, “Look, we didn’t know about it,”
the one who weighs hearts—doesn’t he understand?
The one who protects your life—he knows.
He makes people pay for their actions.
