Proverbs 24:9-11

American Standard Version

⁹ The thought of foolishness is sin;
And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
¹⁰ If thou faint in the day of adversity,
Thy strength is small.
¹¹ Deliver them that are carried away unto death,
And those that are ^[a]ready to be slain ^[b]see that thou hold back.
