11 Deliver those who are being taken away to death , And those who are staggering to slaughter , Oh hold them back . 12 If you say , "See , we did not know this ," Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts ? And does He not know it who keeps your soul ? And will He not render to man according to his work ?
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 24:11-12
Commentary on Proverbs 24:11-12
(Read Proverbs 24:11-12)
