New Testament

Proverbs 24:7-13 New English Translation (NET)

7. Wisdom is unattainable for a fool;in court he does not open his mouth.

8. The one who plans to do evilwill be called a scheming person.

9. A foolish scheme is sin,and the scorner is an abomination to people.

10. If you faint in the day of trouble,your strength is small!

11. Deliver those being taken away to death,and hold back those slipping to the slaughter.

12. If you say, “But we did not know about this,”does not the one who evaluates hearts consider?Does not the one who guards your life know?Will he not repay each person according to his deeds?

13. Eat honey, my child, for it is good,and honey from the honeycomb is sweet to your taste.
