Proverbs 24:11 Context
9The thought of foolishnesse is sinne: and the scorner is an abomination to men. 10If thou faint in the day of aduersitie, thy strength is small: 11If thou forbeare to deliuer them that are drawen vnto death, and those that are ready to be slaine: 12If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not: doth not he that pondereth the heart, consider it? and he that keepeth thy soule, doth not he know it? and shall not hee render to euery man according to his workes? 13My sonne, eate thou honie, because it is good, and the honie combe, which is sweete to thy taste.
