Proverbs 24:13
Compare all
11 aDeliver those who are drawn toward death,
And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. 
12 If you say, “Surely we did not know this,”
Does not aHe who weighs the hearts consider it?
He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?
And will He not render to each man baccording to his deeds? 
13 My son, aeat honey because it is good,
And the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste; 
14 aSo shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul;
If you have found it, there is a1 prospect,
And your hope will not be cut off. 
15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;
Do not plunder his resting place;
16 aFor a righteous man may fall seven times
And rise again,
bBut the wicked shall fall by calamity.
