Proverbs 24:9-12

Living Bible

⁹ The rebel’s schemes are sinful, and the mocker is the scourge of all mankind.

¹⁰ You are a poor specimen if you can’t stand the pressure of adversity.

^11-12 Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death; don’t stand back and let them die. Don’t try to disclaim responsibility by saying you didn’t know about it. For God, who knows all hearts, knows yours, and he knows you knew! And he will reward everyone according to his deeds.
