Proverbs 24:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 If you faint in the day of adversity,
your strength being small;(A)
11 if you hold back from rescuing those taken away to death,
those who go staggering to the slaughter;(B)
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?(C)
Proverbs 24:10-12
International Standard Version
10 If you grow weary when times are troubled,
your strength is limited.[a]
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,[b] who examines motives,[c] 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?
