24:11Deliver those being taken away to death,
and hold back those slipping to the slaughter.18
Footnotes
- 18 The idea of “slipping” (participle from מוֹט, mot) has troubled some commentators. G. R. Driver emends it to read “at the point of” (“Problems in Proverbs,” 50 [1932]: 146). But the as it stands makes good sense. The reference would be general, , to help any who are in mortal danger or who might be tottering on the edge of such disaster—whether through sin, or through disease, war, or danger. Several English versions (e.g., , , ) render this term as “staggering.” God holds people responsible for rescuing those who are in mortal danger. The use of “death” and “slaughter” seems rather strong in the passage, but they have been used before in the book for the destruction that comes through evil.
