11. Rescue those being taken off to death,and save those stumbling toward slaughter.
12. If you say, “But we didn’t know about this,”won’t He who weighs hearts consider it?Won’t He who protects your life know?Won’t He repay a person according to his work?
13. Eat honey, my son, for it is good,and the honeycomb is sweet to your palate;
