Proverbs 24:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 A foolish scheme is sin, and a mocker is detestable to men.

10 If you faint in the day of distress, how small is your strength!

11 Rescue those being led away to death, and restrain those stumbling toward the slaughter.

12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know about this,” does not He who weighs hearts consider it? Does not the One who guards your life know? Will He not repay a man according to his deeds?

13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to your taste.
