The Moral Imperative

Posted by editormum on 28 March 2005 in Justice |

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?

— The Bible (KJV), Proverbs 24:11

—–An Alternate, Modern Translation —–

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 each person according to what he has done?

— The Bible (NIV), Proverbs 24:11
