Learning From Your Father
10 If you grow weary when times are troubled, your strength is limited. 11 Rescue those who are being led away to death, and save those who stumble toward slaughter. 12 If you say, "Look here, we didn't know about this," doesn't God, who examines motives, discern it? Doesn't the one who guards your soul know about it? Won't he repay each person according to what he has done?
