Proverbs
Chapters 24:7-13
Amplified Bible
7Wisdom is too high for a fool; he opens not his mouth in the gate [where the city's rulers sit in judgment].
8He who plans to do evil will be called a mischief-maker.
9The plans of the foolish and the thought of foolishness are sin, and the scoffer is an abomination to men.
10If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.
11Deliver those who are drawn away to death, and those who totter to the slaughter, hold them back [from their doom].
12If you [profess ignorance and] say, Behold, we did not know this, does not He Who weighs and ponders the heart perceive and consider it? And He Who guards your life, does not He know it? And shall not He render to [you and] every man according to his works?
13My son, eat honey, because it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
