8But deliberate in council. Death befalls uninstructed men.
9The fool also dies in sins; And uncleanness attaches to a pestilent man.
— Proverbs 24:10 —
11Deliver them that are led away to death, And redeem them that are appointed to be slain; spare not thy help.
12But if thou shouldest say, I know not this man; Know that the Lord knows the hearts of all; And he that formed breath for all, he knows all things, Who renders to every man according to his works.
