10If you aare slack in the day of trouble,

Your strength is in trouble.

11aDeliver those who are being taken away to death,

And those who are stumbling to the slaughter, Oh hold them back.

12If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”

Does not He awho weighs the hearts bunderstand?

And cdoes not He who dguards your soul know?

And will not He 1erender to man according to his work?

In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

If you faint in the day of adversity,

your strength is small.

Rescue those who are being taken away to death;

hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.

If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”

does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?

Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it,

and will he not repay man according to his work?

NIVNew International Version (2011)

If you falter in a time of trouble,

how small is your strength!

Rescue those being led away to death;

hold back those staggering toward slaughter.

If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”

does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?

Does not he who guards your life know it?

Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?

CSBChristian Standard Bible

If you do nothing in a difficult time,

your strength is limited.

Rescue those being taken off to death,

and save those stumbling toward slaughter.

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?

NLTNew Living Translation

If you fail under pressure,

your strength is too small.

Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;

save them as they stagger to their death.

Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.”

For God understands all hearts, and he sees you.

He who guards your soul knows you knew.

He will repay all people as their actions deserve.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

If you faint on the day of adversity,

little is your strength.

Rescue those who are led away to the death

and those who stagger to the slaughter. If you hold back,

if you say, “Look, we do not know this,”

does not he who weighs hearts perceive it?

And he who keeps your soul,

he knows and will repay humankind according to his deeds.

KJV 1900King James Version

If thou faint in the day of adversity,

Thy strength is small.

If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death,

And those that are ready to be slain;

If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not;

Doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it?

And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?

And shall not he render to every man according to his works?
