Proverbs 24:11-16

¹¹Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!

¹²If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this,” doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?

¹³My son, eat honey, for it is good, the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste;

¹⁴so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off.

¹⁵Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don’t destroy his resting place;

¹⁶for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again, but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
