Proverbs 24:13 in context

  1. 11Rescue those who are being led away to death!
    Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!
  2. 12If 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?

  3. 13My son, eat honey, for it is good,
    the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste;
  4. 14so 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.
  5. 15Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous.
    Don’t destroy his resting place;
