Proverbs 24:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹·Making foolish plans [Scheming] is sinful,
and ·making fun of wisdom is hateful [or people despise mockers].

¹⁰If you ·give up [show yourself weak] ·when trouble comes [^Lon the day of distress/trouble],
it shows that ·you are weak [^Lyour strength is small].

¹¹·Save [Rescue; ^TDeliver] those who are being led to their death;
·rescue [^Ldon’t restrain yourself from] those who ·are about [^Ltottering off] to be killed.
