2. “If you (or I) do nothing in a difficult time, your strength is limited. Rescue those being taken off to death, and save those stumbling toward slaughter. If you say, ‘But we didn’t know about them’, Won’t He who weighs the hearts consider it? Won’t He who protects your life know? Won’t he repay a person according to His work?”
Proverbs 24: Holman Christian Standard Bible
