PROVERBS 24:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;”
Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter—an exhortation to intervene on behalf of those facing harm or injustice, establishing an active duty to defend the vulnerable. The verbs 'rescue' and 'hold back' describe determined intervention. The theological significance involves the principle that silence in the face of injustice is complicity.
