Proverbs 24:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰ If you fall apart during a crisis,
    then you weren’t very strong to begin with.
¹¹ Rescue everyone you can of those being taken away and killed,
    and hold on to those innocent souls staggering toward their own slaughter.
¹² If you excuse yourself, saying, “Look, we didn’t know anything about this,”
    doesn’t God, who knows what you are really thinking, understand your motives?
Isn’t your Protector aware of why you aren’t protecting the innocent?
    Will He not repay you in kind?
