Proverbs 24:13 in context

Proverbs 24:10–16

10

If you falter in the time of trouble,

your strength is small.

11

Rescue those who are being led away to death!

Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!

12

If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this,”

doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it?

He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it?

Shall he not give to every man according to his work?

13
Selected verse

My son, eat honey, for it is good,

the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste;

14

so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul.

If you have found it, then there will be a reward:

Your hope will not be cut off.

15

Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous.

Don’t destroy his resting place;

16

for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again,

but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
