Proverbs 24:7-12

Saying 23 7Wisdom is too high for fools; in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.

Saying 24 8Whoever plots evil will be known as a schemer.

9The schemes of folly are sin, and people detest a mocker.

Saying 25 10If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!

11Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.

12If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?
