Proverbs 24:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Deliver them that are drawn [a]to death, and wilt thou not preserve them that are led to be slain?
12 If thou say, Behold, we knew not of it: he that pondereth the hearts, doth not he understand it? and he that keepeth thy soul, knoweth he it not? will he not also recompense every man according to his works?
13 My son, eat [b]honey, for it is good, and the honey comb, for it is sweet unto thy mouth.
