Proverbs 24:8-12

⁸There is one who plans to do evil— people call him a master of schemes.

⁹A foolish plan is sin and men despise a mocker.

¹⁰If you become weak with fear in the day of trouble, then your strength is small.

¹¹Rescue those who are being taken away to death and hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter.

¹²If you say, “Behold, we knew nothing about this,” does not the one who weighs the heart understand what you are saying? The one who guards your life, does he not know it? Will God not give to each one what he deserves?
