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.
